Racial minorities vary in their sociopolitical views, as figures such as Barack Obama and Ted Cruz often demonstrate. Here, I examine the implications for interracial behaviour, proposing that Black and Latinx conservatives-specifically, those who are more supportive of hierarchy-upshift competence relative to liberals in mostly white settings, distancing themselves from stereotypes. Analysing 250,000 Congressional remarks and 1 million tweets revealed that Black and Latinx conservatives (determined by voting behaviour) referenced high power and ability more than liberals. No such pattern emerged for white politicians. A meta-analysis of four experiments further revealed that Black conservatives (determined by social dominance orientation) referenced high status more than liberals when responding to a white (but not Black) partner. This was robust to controls and unique to hierarchy-based conservatism. Finally, analysing 18,000 editorials suggested the following implications: the more minority conservatives referenced power in Congress, the more journalists referenced power in editorials about them. The findings highlight the diverse ideology of racial minorities, as well as the behavioural implications.
少数族裔在社会政治观点上存在差异，巴拉克·奥巴马和泰德·克鲁兹等人物就常常体现出这一点。在此，我探讨其对跨种族行为的影响，提出在以白人为主的环境中，黑人及拉丁裔保守派——尤其是那些更支持等级制度的人——相对于自由派会提升自身能力，以使自己远离刻板印象。对25万条国会言论和100万条推文的分析显示，黑人及拉丁裔保守派（由投票行为确定）比自由派更多地提及高权力和能力。白人政客则未出现这种模式。对四项实验的荟萃分析进一步表明，黑人保守派（由社会支配取向确定）在回应白人（而非黑人）伙伴时比自由派更多地提及高地位。这在控制变量后依然成立，且是基于等级制度的保守主义所特有的。最后，对18000篇社论的分析得出以下结论：少数族裔保守派在国会中提及权力越多，记者在关于他们的社论中提及权力就越多。这些发现凸显了少数族裔意识形态的多样性以及行为方面的影响。
