Multiple Choice

Refer to the following paragraph to answer the questions below.
Researchers debate the degree to which racism is a major source of white anti-immigrant attitudes in the United States, since most recent immigrants are non-white. To examine this relationship, I used a measure of racial prejudice among whites not wanting a black person to marry a close relative and cross-tabulated it with an opinion question about immigration using data from the 2000 General Social Survey. The variables are percentaged both by row and by column. MARRY BLACK: How would you respond to a close relative marrying a black person? Strongly Favor, Favor, Neither Favor or Oppose, Oppose, Strongly Oppose. IMMIGRANTS: Should the number of people coming from other countries to the U.S. as immigrants be Increased, Stay the Same, or Decrease? Data only for Race = White, GSS 2000. Note: Missing data, Don't Know, No Answer removed from Table. Immigrant response collapsed into three categories. Increase At lot and Increase a Little combined into Increase, Same, Decrease a Little and Decrease a Lot are combined into Decrease.
