This article is primarily concerned with identifying those racial subgroups in the population that differ greatly from one another on attitudes toward race relations. Using two different surveys and a technique known as Polarized Subgroup Analysis, the author finds that although whites and nonwhites are in approximate agreement on some general statements about integration, specific programs, particularly in housing, lead to widely different viewpoints, with little or no overlap between racial groups. And, while younger and better-educatied whites are closer to blacks than other white subgroups, younger and better-educated blacks are further from whites than other black subgroups. Some implications of these findings are discussed
