A new national survey conducted by conservative think tank Manhattan Institute found that Millennial Republicans are more likely to call themselves racist than Baby Boomer Republicans.
A total of 34% of Republican survey respondents between the ages of 30 and 49 answered “I am such person” when asked for their views on individuals who openly express racist views. Only 3% of Republican survey respondents over the age of 65 answered “I am such person.”
A total of 23% of Republican survey respondents between the ages of 18 and 29 and 6% between the ages of 50 to 64 also answered “I am such person.”

I think this is also a reflection on self awareness.
Big “I’m not racist, but…” energy from boomers
Duh
This just sounds like more of that “millennials killed X” shit from 10 years ago. They’ve been dogging us since the start, man.
Could it also be that boomers, while racist, do not consider themselves to be racist? My racist boomer father would tell you he absolutely is not racist, but that everyone loves a racist joke.
You can make mental gymnastics why it is so, but the fact is that ye old boomers grew up in a racist world and is expected from them to be racist. Le millennials had 50 years of efforts and sacrifices to make the world less racist.
thats basically it.
That’s how I read it to begin with.
If anyone my age says they’re a racist to my face I will punch teeth in.
They probably don’t have a lot of teeth to begin with.
What the fuck is this entire sentence?
David Hirsch, former Republican candidate for New York State Assembly, on X: “While there are a lot of positives in this poll, there are some disturbing trends being influenced by the Woke Right like rising Holocaust Denialism, and that 12% are antisemitic and 19% accept them. We can fix this and other issues.”
The Woke Right? Isn’t that firstly an oxymoron, and secondly a label they would never self-apply?
Bibi used the term pejoratively when talking about MAGA folks who were criticizing Israel recently. Don’t know the term’s origins though, I’ve been seeing it more lately.
Woke right is groypers because they’re “critical of Israel”. Cause they’re nazis
Zionism is Nazism, as such they’re upset that some racists don’t like them.
That is some premium copium.
I’m not at all surprised by this, TBH. For all the dunking there is on boomers, they spent their formative years during the Civil Rights era, no?
And Gen Y (at least the younger ones) spent their formative years just when things like social media and forums and so on really got going. Where people are and have been trying to curate and groom more white supremacists. Often behind screen names, etc…
This.
Why would a millennial identify as a boomer?
