Abstract
This study examines the relationship between subjective racial status, economic inequality, and support for alt-right extremism among white Americans. Across two studies (Pilot: N = 465; Study 1: N = 1,449), using representative quota sampling, researchers identified a "Last Place" profile of white Americans who perceive themselves as falling behind both other white people and people of color. Controlling for objective status, individuals in this profile were significantly more likely to support alt-right ideologies, politics, and events.
