One question was, ‘Would Black people be treated better or worse here if the Japanese conquered the U.S.A.?’ Black interviewers reported that nine per cent of those they asked said ‘better’. White interviewers found only two per cent of such responses. And while Black interviewers found only twenty-five per cent who thought Black people would be treated worse, white interviewers turned up forty-five per cent. When ‘Nazis’ was substituted for ‘Japanese’ in the question, the results were similar.
