        Thanks for sharing this news. But there are still systemic problems around race & inequality in our society that need to change.

        "Structural" is often another word for "equity" or "equality of outcome". It's a mentality that prefers group identity over the individual.

        The data you presented doesn't support that statement. I see a-lot of racism against whites, to the point where its normalised.

        The data appears to go to 2008-2010 before the excesses of the radical left became fashionable.

        ...if you don't count anti-white programs as racism.

        but our country sucks more because of increasing multiculturalism even if the relations between races are improving

        Same in the UK. Except we have to suffer freedom of movement because of the EU, allowing a huge influx of it.

        Race relations in the US have hit a low point under Obama and the Left and their Post Modernism/identity politics.

        Note the uptick in animosity since 2008 - the Obama effect. PS-Report proves Darrell Huff's thesis.

        This is a incomplete one-way picture. With the rise of "interesectionality" would be helpful to see other groups views.

        all you hear about is how bad white people are and how really bad white males are.
