In this paper, Charles Mills discusses what he calls "white ignorance", developing one of the main themes of his 1997 book, 'The Racial Contract'. His discussion is concerned with the idea of a cognitive disadvantage based on membership in a social group, which is not strange to the radical philosophical tradition, and that has been explored with more vigor in the recent Social Epistemology, in debates about epistemic injustices, silencing, willful ignorance, cognitive biases, epistemological standpoints, etc. Mills argues for an "Epistemology of the white ignorance", a racially and socially situated epistemology, which contraposes itself, in a great extent, to the individualistic tendencies of the traditional epistemological work, while conserving the interests in objectivity and truth of this work.

As the Supreme Court debates whether to end affirmative action, concerns about the power of implicit racial bias to shape who gets ahead in America are as salient as ever. But what do we know about the extent and power of this racism to drive voting decisions? Is there a scientific way to measure it?

In a new paper "Disfavor or Favor? Assessing the Valence of White Americans' Racial Attitudes" political scientist Tim Ryan provides a new framework for how perceived racial attitudes line up with voting. It takes on the faults of our existing racial bias literature and provides striking evidence about how to characterize white American's racial attitudes.

Ryan is a professor at The University of North Caroline at Chapel Hill. You can find the paper at this link: https://www.nowpublishers.com/article/Details/QJPS-21119
