The recent discussion of immigration has been a hot topic throughout the western world. The flooding of Middle Eastern immigrants into Europe and the refugee surge in North America produce scares and worries that manifest in racist actions and words. The obvious question is whether or not these concerns are legitimate or based upon intolerance and racism.

To quickly explain the scale used by attention paid to: minorities and immigration, the options were 1, 3 and 5 with 1 representing a lot of attention and 5 representing no attention. Respondents with ‘don’t know’ and ‘refused’ were omitted from the data. First we need to test if ANOVA could be used in this scenario. The largest Std. is 1.412 with 19 and Younger, while the smallest is 70 to 79 with 1.185. Through division tests the result is 1.196 which is still less than 2, meaning it is …show more content…
Interestingly enough there is a sharp increase in the 40 to 49 range away from attention towards Minorities and Immigration (1 representing a lot of attention, 5 representing no attention). This coincides with the literature readings analysis and the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960’s/ Canadian Multicultural policies of 1971. This actually harms the argument that education helps reduce racist attitudes. However opposing reasons could be due to an age difference regarding social awareness and a desensitization to multiculturalism. However a certain conclusion that can be drawn from this analysis is that something occurred in the 1960’s/1970’s that resulted in these changes. Unfortunately however, the correlation between the two variables is just below moderate. While there is a degree of influence, it is not particularly
