Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Elijah Anderson's research found that some young black men felt the need to maintain social order by putting whites at ease. This was due to the stigma attached to being a young black man in the community and the fear that whites had towards them. Anderson found that some young black men developed a code-switching behavior where they would change their mannerisms and language in the presence of whites to avoid being seen as a threat.
