Abstract

A discussion of the hypothesis concerning the relation between housing class & att's towards immigrant racial minorities, originally postulated by John Rex & Robert Moore in RACE, COMMUNITY AND CONFLICT: A STUDY OF SPARKBROOK (London: Oxford U Press, 1967). The hyp's were systematically tested in a sample survey carried out in Bristol, England. The evidence did not support the view that an individual's position in the housing market was a more important determinant of his attitude towards 'colored' immigrants than his psychol'al pre-disposition or subjective orientation to the situation. On the contrary, racism & color prejudice appeared to be much more closely associated with the views that immigration should be restricted, that colored immigrants had made the housing situation worse, & with spontaneous expressions of racial antipathy, than with objective situational factors such as housing.
