Millennials Tired of Race Topic

Writing for the New York Post, Naomi Schaefer Riley believes we need to talk less, not more about race. She reports:
A recent MTV survey found that 73 percent of millennials “believe never considering race would improve society” and “68 percent believe focusing on race prevents society from becoming colorblind.”

And the vast majority (84 percent) of these young people say their families taught them that people should be treated the same regardless of race. Yet only 37 percent say they were brought up in families that talked about race.
We need to listen to the young, particularly when they see clearly as here.
