A national survey found that Millennial Republicans are more likely to call themselves racist than Baby Boomer Republicans.

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.”

    So do we actually care anymore that being racist is the problem here or is it just finding new distractions such as intersectional infighting like ageism for hairs to split now?

      I don’t really understand what you mean, intersectionality is about caring about multiple societal issues, such as ageism, racism and class consciousness.

      It’s not about infighting, it’s about uniting the whole working class. The ruling class preys upon our in-group biases to divide us. Intersectionality is how we resist that attempt to divide us.
