Even if it's just harassing people or shooting people, it justifies their actions.
But in terms of the individual, I mean, the Somalis, you have the President of the United States calling them animals and disgusting people.
It's similar to what I'm talking about with the Latino threat and the implications of that rhetoric on Latinos.
So it's sort of like, it's not just the fact that negative rhetoric, as I showed in our experiment, that basically negative emotions raised the stress levels of the people we interview, that we had take the tests, that lowered their sense of subjective health.
We asked them, after we showed them
the red brick, and we asked them psychological kind of indexes, people actually said they felt sick inside.
It actually affected how they subjectively understood their health.
it lowered their subjective sense of well-being, which means they don't feel like they belong when they hear that rhetoric, that somehow they're being targeted, that they're somehow not as American as other people.
But then I contrasted that.
We show people positive rhetoric, that immigrants, Latinos contribute to the economy.
They do this, they do that.
And when that happens, it was like the reverse.
Their stress levels went way down.
They felt healthy.
their subjective health indicators went way up.
Their sense of well-being went way up.
And so my conclusion was, you know, rhetoric matters because if you talk bad about people, they feel bad about themselves.
If you talk good about people, they feel part of society.
They feel like they belong.
And so my point was, which kind of society do you want?
