A whopping 75% of Republican Americans believe that white people are discriminated against according to a new Hill-HarrisX poll. It's not quite clear in what way they feel this discrimination works, and only 19% of them believe that they personally have experienced this discrimination. The equivalent statistics for Independent voters is 55%, and even a surprising 38% of Democrats think there is discrimination against whites.
If it makes you feel any better about this news, 78% of Republicans, 82% of Independents, and 95% of Democrats feel that black people are discriminated against, and an overall 81% think that Hispanics are discriminated against. But it does still mean that most Republicans believe that white people face as much discrimination as black people, which is kind of bizarre. It seems to be all part of the victim mentality that Donald Trump has cultivated, and the whole "reverse racism" narrative promoted by Fox News and other conservative media outlets.
