- Nearly seven in ten (67%) say it is a serious problem that individuals treat Black, Latino, Asian, and Native Americans worse than white Americans. Two-fifths (39%) say it is a very serious problem.
- Three-fifths (63%) say racism makes it more difficult for people of color to succeed in America.
- Nearly half (49%) of Americans believe that racism is both a problem of how society works and how individuals treat each other. A quarter (26%) say it is mostly a problem of how individuals treat each other. These findings are similar to when asked in June 2020 (48% and 28%, respectively).

The more shocking news is that 2/5 of Americans think racism is totally not a problem for people of color. I don’t get it. I’ve known white supremacists; they have a pretty consistent ideology: racism is bad for them, good for us, and we need to do more of it. It’s abhorrent, but at least it’s grounded in reality (until they start getting into the master race bullshit).
But for so many people to just say racism is not a problem for people of color? That’s just…I do not understand.
