Abstract The purpose of this study was to compare Danish and U.S. attitudes toward minority groups (blacks and mediterraneans) in a controlled study, and to provide evidence for the extent to which attitudes toward minorities can be generalized. Using analysis of variance, results indicated that white subjects, whether Danish or American, generally hold negative attitudes toward culturally relevant minority groups, but Danes did not feel quite as negative toward mediterraneans as Americans did towards blacks. However, Danes were very positive toward blacks (a non-culturally relevant minority). The results support the generalizing of the concept of the culturally relevant minority group.
