A. Szymanski & M. Reich have argued that, contrary to common opinion, white workers are ultimately disadvantaged by discrimination against nonwhites. This thesis is tested with data from larger standard metropolitan statistical areas, using an analytical design similar to Szymanski's. An overall pattern of white gain from discrimination is apparent. Limitations of such cross-sectional studies are discussed. In Response to Riedesel, Albert Szymanski (University of Oregon, Eugene) maintains that Riedesel's use of standard metropolitan statistical areas, instead of states, limits itself to the measurement of intensity of racism only, ignoring the 'potential impact of discrimination.' If results from standard metropolitan statistical areas & states differ it is because the two units 'incorporate significantly different phenomena.' Which results are superior can be judged only in reference to the theory utilized. 3 Tables. E. Goldberger.
