Well, he *does* look Jewish if you're referring to Ethiopian Jews. For background on Ethiopian Jews, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_Israel For images of Ethiopian Jews, see: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&cr=&safe=off&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&q=%22ethiopian%20jews%22&sa=N&tab=wi&authuser=0&ei=7CSNUPy0GKPm0gGs24HoDw&biw=1280&bih=806&sei=wCWNULSgAa600QG23oBA It's harder to make an argument that he is a Kenyan Jew though; see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Kenya And compare the images for Kenyan Jews: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&cr=&safe=off&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&q=%22kenyan%20jews%22&sa=N&tab=wi&authuser=0&ei=7iWNUMX-N-2F0QHr9YGABQ&biw=1280&bih=806&sei=DCaNUK2FJ4rk0QGl-4CYBQ Of course, this naturally leads to a particular question: http://www.tabletmag.com/scroll/14365/is-obama-circumcised ;-) -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: Michael Palij [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, October 27, 2012 8:31 AM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Cc: Michael Palij Subject: [tips] Racial Attitude of U.S. Voters This web-based survey is an interesting mix of explicit attitude processing (i.e., traditional questions about race) and implicit processing (i.e., the affect misatribution) although it is not clear in the final AP report how the results from the implicit processing task was used. For the AP survey results, see: http://surveys.ap.org/data%5CGfK%5CAP_Racial_Attitudes_Topline_09182012.pdf The Washington Post mentions that equations were developed to identify which background factors would predict a person's voting for Obama or Romney but there is minimal info about this. However, there is a mention of how many votes Obama is losing because of his race. It would be interesting to read a more traditional report instead of what essentially is a long results section. --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
