Americans Are Experiencing Racism

  > In only two instances were black people not the most likely to have experienced discrimination: Asians were the most likely to say they were the brunt of racial slurs or jokes at 61%, while white people reported the highest levels of people assuming they were "racist or prejudiced." > Most adults agree the legacy of slavery continues to have an impact on black Americans. But while 78% of black respondents said the U.S. has not gone far enough in giving equal rights to black Americans, only 37% of white respondents agreed with them. > White people's views on race varied greatly by political party. For example, 77% of white Republicans said the bigger issue in the U.S. is seeing “discrimination where it does not exist” — rather than not recognizing real discrimination. 78% of white Democrats found the opposite to be true.
