Fig. 3. Effects of heterogeneity, identity of the largest group, and racial policy preferences on perceived diversity (White participants).

White participants who strongly favor affirmative action (left) or think that immigration should be increased (right) view neighborhoods where non-Whites are the largest group as more diverse than those where Whites are the largest group. White participants who strongly oppose affirmative action (left) or think that immigration should be decreased (right) view neighborhoods where non-Whites are the largest group as less diverse than those where Whites are the largest group. Expected values are simulated from model 2 in table S11 and model 2 in table S12 and shown with 95% confidence intervals, with clustered SEs. Continuous control variables are held to their medians, and categorical control variables are held to their modes. Heterogeneity is held at 70, 28, and 2%.
