Discriminative preferences and fairness ideals in diverse societies
|
|
|
Do social preferences of the native majority in Europe depend on others’ ethnicity? Are people from the majority as altruistic, reciprocal, envious to ethnic minorities as compared to other majority? Do they have different fairness ideals—what constitutes a fair distribution of resources from the perspective of an impartial spectator—when it comes to people from the majority than when it comes to people with a minority background? Do these preferences depend on exposure to ethnic minorities, and, if so, how?
