        Some people feel that the government in Washington should make every  
        (1978: possible) effort to improve the social and economic position of
        blacks and other minority groups (1980: even if it means giving the   
        preferential treatment). Others feel that the government should not   
        make any special effort to help minorities because they should help   
        themselves.

        Responses referring to an independent or "other" candidate are not    
        recorded here for districts having only one major party candidate     
        (e.g. type race 23 in VCF0902).

        In all years, if R replied DK or "haven't thought much about it" in   
        rating self on this same 7-point scale, then R was not asked this     
        question.
