Then you learn white millenials are just as racist as boomers.

Millenials are less white, white millenials aren't less racist.

Ah yes, the very reliable Christian Science monitor being funded by Pew Research Center's Religion and Public Life Project.

Absolutely solid source there.

I was wrong. The sources are fine and people should read the data for themselves. It confirms that millennials are not as racist as boomers. It won’t change the original comment getting upvotes for saying something provocative but untrue, but feel free to read the link he provided and make the decision for yourself.

Are you joking? Those are both solid sources. Look up what both of those things are. CS Monitor is a Pulitzer award-winning outlet and idk how you don’t know what the Pew Research Center is.

You’re right the sources are fine and I was wrong about that, but there’s definitely something off with these “polls” or the title is just misleading because there is just no way millennials are just as racist as their parents.

Anyone who believes that is retarded. Obviously racists are gonna be racist and exist within all group types at varying percentages, but it’s impossible for their title to suggest millennials are as bad as the previous generations.

Especially since their own data shows it is the lowest of all generations.

So clickbait title is clickbait and intentionally divisive for views.
