Most Republicans believe discrimination against whites is 'as big a problem' as anti-Black racism.

The survey was conducted following the racially motivated massacre at a Buffalo grocery store

An overwhelming number of Republicans believe discrimination against white people is “as big a problem” as the anti-Black hate the permeates the nation, according to a new poll.

As reported by Mediaite, the Yahoo News/YouGov survey of 1,573 U.S. adults asked: “Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Discrimination against white people has become as big a problem as discrimination against Black people in the U.S.”

Per the poll, 64% of Republican respondents said white people experience a fair amount of hate or discrimination in society. The poll breaks down 35% saying they “strongly agree” or “somewhat agree” (29%), and 29% saying they “somewhat disagree” (19%) or “strongly disagree” (10%).

They won't have to pay higher rates or get redlined out of good or affordable housing.
They're not assumed to be shoplifting when they walk into a nice store
They aren't expected to have a higher threshold for pain, or assumed to be looking for drugs when they seek healthcare.
They don't have to worry about making it home if a cop pulls them over.
They don't have to worry about their kids being treated like criminals in school just because they're exuberant or hyperactive and don't "listen" -even though the white kids are just as loud or aggressive.
Privileged F'ing White Snowflakes.
