Abstract
Trust is integral to the process of immigrant integration. While previous research has considered whether discrimination has an effect on trust, no study has considered the specific extent to which immigrants experience more discrimination than the native-born and how this might matter for immigrant-native gaps in trust. To address this issue we provide the first study to use a formal mediation approach to studying the immigration, discrimination, and trust relationship. Drawing on the 2013 Canadian General Social Survey data (N=27,695) we analyze differences in three kinds of trust (generalized, specific others and political), and the role of discrimination, between Canadian-born whites, Canadian-born people of colour, foreign-born whites, foreign-born people of colour, and Indigenous people. We find that discrimination has a greater impact on social rather than political relationships. Immigrants have lower social trust in general and in others because of race-based discrimination rather than because they are immigrants per se.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
