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.”
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.
