As Allport notes, “A prejudice, unlike a simple misconception, is actively resistant to all evidence that would unseat it” (1954: 9). Even if the words and actions of black incumbents do not fit whites’ racial stereotypes, a prejudice model predicts that whites will use an array of tactics to try to maintain those stereotypes and create cognitive consistency (D. Hamilton 1981). They will ignore events that do not square with their views of blacks and discount contradictory evidence as an exception to the rule (Kunda and Oleson 1997; 11 12 It is worth making one last comment about information levels: much of the recent literature on political information notes that aggregate opinion is much more rational and coherent than individual opinion.
