I heard this on npr yesterday morning. One of the questions asked was "have you [as a white millennial] felt discriminated against in getting a job" (or something like that) and they stratified the answers by education with 30% of college degree holders answering "yes" vs 50ish% for non-degreed people. They tried to play this off as "people who are ignorant tend to perceive this unrealistic situation more than educated people" but all I heard was, "holy shit, college degree holders are mostly non-minorities, and almost a THIRD of them felt discriminated against when getting a job??"

Most shows on NPR are liberal propaganda. Not much neutrality there anymore.

Oh no, friend, ALL are unabashedly left biased. They don't even try to hide it. But I have a 45min commute in the mornings and it's the only radio news along the way. I actually kinda enjoy it though, keeps the BS detector sharp.

Well isn't that a bitch. So they get to, in one broad stroke, dismiss the concern of whites about white discrimination by claiming that 50% are ignorant and essentially "imagine" it due to that ignorance. Meanwhile, they defend this idealogical (near religious) notion that all blacks are discriminated against in this country because they are less financially/economically successful. And the fact is that the reason for that is inherent differences in average intelligence level. So all of these non-degree holding blacks claiming racism are accurate, but whites claiming the same are ignorant. Fuck me. Could you imagine if they had said the same thing about non-degree holding blacks and the probably 90% of them that would report feeling discriminated against? Just claim it was because they were ignorant?
