THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: White people in the United States now feel more discriminated against than black people, according to a new study by professors at Harvard Business School and Tufts university.
The study polled roughly 200 white people and 200 black people drawn at random from a national census and asked them to rate racist attitudes against blacks and whites in each decade from 1950 to 2000.
Both groups felt racism against black people was substantial in the 1950s and both groups agreed the situation had markedly improved.
However, white respondents to the survey indicated that racism is now on the rise against white people. Eleven per cent of people responding to the survey even gave anti-white racism a maximum rating of ten points.
The authors said the research showed America has not yet reached a "post-racial" era, despite the election of Barack Obama as the country's first black president. » | Telegraph’s Foreign Staff | Wednesday, May 25, 2011
