Quote of the Day

Sean McElwee, quoting academic researcher Spencer Piston, in a Politico article on the topic of racism among the young.

The racial divide (in particular the black/white divide) dwarfs other divides in policy opinion. Age differences in public opinion are small in comparison to racial differences.

If Piston is correct, racism won't automatically get better with the passage of time. Birds of a feather flock together. Would we a priori expect people to behave differently?
