This dataset is a subset of the 1991 National Race and Politics Survey and
contains a list experiment with two sensitive items. The main questions
read as follows: Now I'm going to read you four things that sometimes
make people angry or upset. After I read all (three/four), just tell me HOW
MANY of them upset you. (I don't want to know which ones, just how many.)
(1) "the federal government increasing the tax on gasoline;" (2)
"professional athletes getting million-dollar-plus salaries;" (3) "large
corporations polluting the environment;" (4) "a black family moving next
door to you."

The full data set is available at SDA (Survey Documentation and Analysis; http://sda.berkeley.edu/D3/Natlrace/Doc/nrac.htm)
where the last item is presented only with the treatment group and the control list only contains the first three items.

asking the government for affirmative action."
Treatment status one (treat == 1) is the "black family" item and status two is the "affirmative action" item.
