The point has been made in the passage that the American people ----.
The assumption that a person's attitudes determine his or
her behaviour is deeply ingrained in Western thinking, and
in many instances the assumption holds. However,
research has shown that the relationship between
attitudes and behaviour is complex. A classic study
conducted during the 1930s was the first to question the
link. A white professor travelled across the US with a
young Chinese couple. At that time, there was quite strong
prejudice against Asians, and there were no laws against
racial discrimination. The three travellers stopped at over
200 hotels, motels and restaurants, and were served at all
the restaurants and all but one of the hotels and motels
without problem. Later, a letter was sent to all of the
establishments visited, asking them whether or not they
would accept a Chinese couple as guests. Of the 128
replies received, 92 per cent said they would not. In other
words, these proprietors expressed attitudes that were
much more prejudiced than their behaviour.
