In 1967, Martin Luther King, Jr. reaffirmed a vision of integration as “an opportunity to participate in the beauty of diversity.” Drawing inspiration from King’s vision, across two datasets with White and Asian college students (N = 1,957, N = 1,324), this article finds support for the power of participation in inclusive diversity efforts associated with underrepresented groups (i.e., Latina/o and African Americans) to benefit intergroup attitudes. Specifically, participating in an academic course or activity that involves Latina/o/x or African American culture is related to greater outgroup closeness and more supportive perceptions of policies that address inequality. Perceptions of policies included attitudes toward the merits of affirmative action, use of multicultural (vs. colorblind) approaches to diversity, and endorsement of structural (vs. individual) explanations for inequality. These results held controlling for other types of contact (i.e., outgroup friendships, roommates, interactions), college-level demographic diversity, and prior intergroup attitudes and diversity exposure. The importance of engagement in inclusive diversity efforts for achieving integration is discussed.

重申金的愿景：参与包容性多元化工作的力量，使群体间成果受益

1967 年，马丁·路德·金重申了融合的愿景是“参与多样性之美的机会”。从 King 的愿景中汲取灵感，在包含白人和亚洲大学生（N = 1,957，N = 1,324）的两个数据集上，本文找到了对参与与代表性不足的群体（即拉丁裔/欧裔和非洲裔）相关的包容性多样性努力的力量的支持美国人）有益于群体间的态度。具体而言，参加涉及拉丁裔/o/x 或非裔美国人文化的学术课程或活动与更紧密的外群体亲近和对解决不平等的政策的更多支持性看法有关。对政策的看法包括对平权行动的优点的态度，使用多元文化（与色盲）方法来实现多样性，以及对结构性（相对于色盲）方法的认可。个人）对不平等的解释。这些结果控制了其他类型的接触（即外群体友谊、室友、互动）、大学水平的人口多样性以及先前的群体间态度和多样性暴露。讨论了参与包容性多样性努力以实现融合的重要性。
