Members of four racial groups solicited charity donations from middle-class Canadian whites in both public and private conditions. Black and Indian solicitors received significantly greater donations than white solicitors who, in turn, received significantly greater donations than oriental solicitors. The results are presented as supportive evidence for one part of a "theory of reverse discrimination," namely, that when middleclass whites are involved in "trivial" interactions with minority group members whom they perceive as belonging to groups that have been targets of discrimination, they will treat those minority group members better than they treat another white in identical circumstances.
