In a post a while back, I maintained that restrictions on inter-racial adoption seemed like a pretty clear violation of the Median Voter theorem. I found some data at:
http://www.kff.org/content/2001/3143/RacialBiracialToplines.pdf Question 36 reveals that 79%+ respondents of ALL races say that race should NOT be a factor. Blacks are even less against inter-racial adoption than other races - 84% say race should not be a factor. (I'm pretty sure that black leaders would poll very differently, though). You could say people are too scared/ashamed to say what they really think, but could that really flip 80% for to 51% against? Highly implausible. -- Prof. Bryan Caplan Department of Economics George Mason University http://www.bcaplan.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] "He wrote a letter, but did not post it because he felt that no one would have understood what he wanted to say, and besides it was not necessary that anyone but himself should understand it."
