Racists

[BIG BLACK JACK]

I found this list of charts measuring racism online:

Here is another online story to consider:

 

Millennials Are Less Racially Tolerant Than You Think

 

My inclination on racism is 50% of white people are racist on some level. After looking at these links and other info, I am now more inclined to say 60%. That is very sad. The worst piece of info I saw is in the second link where it says millenials are only slightly less racist than those over 60. As I think about that, I attribute the higher than I expected number for millenials to life inexperience. I would guess the least racist age bracket to be around 35-45, perhaps even up to 50.

 

IMO most of this is because of parenting. Parents want to control every aspect of their child's life now, especially the social and educational areas, leading the child to live the life tailored by the parent. Therefore my take on millenials being more racist is a direct effect of their parents being that way as well.

I think the important thing to consider when discussing the Greek appendage "phobia" is that it's not just "fear," but "fear and loathing."

I posted some info above that talks about racism as it correlates to age. What does everyone think about racism as it may or may not correlate to level of education?

So in your data and conclusion many blue collar working class Americans who have not been college educated are the greatest majority of racists?

I would say that is only because those folks outnumber rich folks by a wide margin. Rich folks can be just as racist.

I find that I am racist in many regards, wish I could say I wasn't but I am and despite a conscious effort to try and not be I find that often I am thinking in a racist way even before I realize I shouldn't be. Though I am much better than my granddad and my dad but this is a different time. I can say that I don't think my children are or at least not nearly as much so as myself.
