    Study Finds White Americans Believe They Experience More Racism
    Than African Americans

    There's a saying that "the new racism is to deny that racism
    exists." If that is the case, it may explain a study conducted by
    researchers from Tufts University's School of Arts and Sciences
    and Harvard Business School. Their findings claim that
    self-described white Americans believe they have "replaced blacks"
    as the primary victims of racial discrimination in contemporary
    America.
    ...
    An astounding 11% of Caucasian respondents assigned the maximum
    rating of 10 to the seriousness of anti-white discrimination.
    Compare that with only 2% who reported the same of anti-black
    racism. Caucasians, the study found, often believe that racial
    equality is "a zero sum game," where one group gains at the
    expense of others.

Makes me think of the fools in COLA who think they know what it is like to
have their rights denied to them because, oh no!, some people find it hard
to pronounce their names! Or those who just want to sweep the facts of
racism under the rug. I mean, really... just stupidity.
