Among men respondents, which group was the most likely to report having a great deal of confidence in educational institutions?

RACEHISP is a nominal-level variable that indicates respondents’ self-identification as non-Hispanic white, Black or African American, non-Black Hispanic, or another racial/ethnic minority group.
