(1/6) Ever wonder why white American liberals who go childless in order to “save the planet” don't seem to mind immigration from non-white nations with high fertility rates?

Click for the thread.
The source of data is ANES 2018 Pilot Study.
What the data is indicating is that in general all ethnic groups have a greater expressed affinity for those ethnically/racially like themselves. There is not a large variance but Blacks have the greatest disposition to prefer their own racial group and non-liberal whites the least.
The one exception to this rule are white liberals who prefer other races over their own.
Further tweets in the thread indicate that 50% of white liberals report having no close black friends versus 26% for white moderates and 30% of white conservatives. White Liberals, compared to other whites, like blacks in the abstract, less so in reality. In other words, they express more affinity for blacks but do not translate that into real friendships.
In a concluding tweet, there is the observation:
The US certainly is a strange country — the groups which have the most black friends are called “racists” but the one which has the fewest calls itself “anti-racist.”
And the only overt bigotry that the “anti-racists” seem to exhibit is toward their own group.
And yet those strange outliers of misanthropy are driving the debate and policies.
