Multiculturalism, Diversity, and African American College Students: Receptive, Yet Skeptical?

Hypothesized that African American college students with higher racial self-esteem would be more open to diversity and multiculturalism than students with lower racial self-esteem. Surveys indicated that most students valued diversity-oriented courses, though most also believed that diversity courses were biased against African Americans. Students with higher racial self-esteem were found to be less open to diversity than those with lower self-esteem. (SM)
