Based on the long history of white supremacy shaping U.S. society, as well as the writings of early ERI scholars, white pride cannot carry the same meaning as Black or Latinx pride, and a sense of belonging to whiteness does not signify positive ethnic group belonging.
“Based on the long history of white supremacy shaping U.S. society, as well as the writings of early ERI scholars (Phinney, 1996; Sellers, 1993), the answer to these questions is clearly “no.””

“…scholars argued for the need to investigate how Black people understand the personal, social, and political meaning of Blackness and the value of ingroup identification; that is, to understand how Black people form a racial identity in the context of white supremacy (Cross, 1971; Sellers, 1993).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
