Obviously this isn't to say that all educated people are not racist, but is there ANY correlation whatsoever?
Nope.
The worst racists are actually the educated ones.
Like that professor who always uses his theories to explain why black people are inferior. Or those professors who spend every year making studies to fit racist hypothesis.
Some of my professors at university were worst than your round the way hill billy racist.
education helps you explain, influence, or even conceal ur racism.
yep
look at say rush limbaugh and sean hannity, or even the kkk
limbaugh and hannity are both extremely educated while like 90% of their listeners are dumb uneducated hicks, the kkk the leadership grand wizards etc. are smart men, while the majority of folks in the kkk are dumb inbred hicks.
you have to watch out for both, the smart racist will spew his hatred, make policies to curb your advancement, not rent to you etc., while the dumb racist will light a cross on your lawn, draw ****** on your garage, or throw a beer at you when hes riding by in his ford f 150
yes, there is a fairly strong correlation. Correlation means relationship, not an absolute connection with no examples to the contrary. Yes, we know there are smart racists, (racism in itself is a complex set of conceptions, biases, and views that cant be neatly defined in its entirety), but all anecdotal and empirical evidence has reflected the idea that a lack of education is a fertile breeding ground for racist thought. Racism, at its core, features binary concepts of black/white, good/evil, etc, which are easy to grasp for even the dumbest idiot, which makes such thoughts so accessible and attractive. There are also its psychic benefits (use racism to boost personal self-esteem, which admittedly is more education level neutral)
The highest level of education attained by Limbaugh and Hannity is a high school diploma.
