A study by the University of Pennsylvania contradicts the establishment-media narrative that racism in America has increased since the election of Donald Trump in 2016.
In fact, the panel survey, which tracked people over a 10-year period, found there has been a decline in white racial prejudice against African Americans and Hispanic Americans since Trump’s election, Campus Reform reported.
Titled “The Rise of Trump, the Fall of Prejudice? Tracking White Americans’ Racial Attitudes 2008-2018 via a Panel Survey,” the report was authored by Penn political science professor Daniel J. Hopkins and research assistant Samantha Washington.
“We find that via most measures, white Americans’ expressed anti-Black and anti-Hispanic prejudice declined after the 2016 campaign and election,” they wrote.
Hopkins, in an article for FiveThirtyEight, explained the study used 13 waves of panel surveys to gather data.
He noted a fall in prejudice was present for both Democrats and Republicans.
The study states that in Trump’s campaign and first few years in office, he “consistently defied contemporary norms by using explicit, negative rhetoric targeting ethnic/racial minorities.”
But Hopkins found the president’s rhetoric, though he termed it “racist,” did not result in an increase in racist attitudes among Americans.
“We find that via most measures, white Americans’ expressed anti-Black and anti-Hispanic prejudice declined after the 2016 campaign and election, and we can rule out even small increases in the expression of prejudice,” the study’s abstract states.
‘That’s not America today’
Campus Reform noted the study contradicts ongoing public perception. A 2018 Quinnipiac University poll, for example, found that 55 percent of survey respondents believed “President Trump has emboldened people who hold racist beliefs.”
But Campus Reform spoke with a Mexican-American who recently studied at the University of Illinois, Joel Valdez, who pointed out that Latino approval of Trump has skyrocketed to 50 percent.

Know 0bama, Know Racism.
No 0bama, No Racism.
Pretty simple, really. ;)
If that's an accurate statement from the "study", then there was bias going in. The fact that the study found less racism proves that the racism issue is NOT nearly as big as it's made out to be.
The media will never let racism die they need it for a story because the don’t report news they make it up.
The finest example of slacker reporters.
Racism is down, but “racism”, the label, is at its highest level in history. Ask any Democrat. Disagree with them about any social or political matter, and hear it spew.
No pandering involved.
I saw cities being burned and destroyed during Obama. I see jobs coming back during Trump. Who is the racist?
It’s now settled science. Liberals are required to believe it.
Honestly I still have to comment on the very subject of this study.
Again, WHITES are the subject.
And again, NO orientals at all even as the object.
So, whites are always the potential problem, and yellow people don’t count at all.
“consistently defied contemporary norms by using explicit, negative rhetoric targeting ethnic/racial minorities” Guess I’m gonna have to look more closely to see when and where and how often he uses the “N” and “S” word. Apparently I’ve missed it.
You wouldn’t know this to listen to the LSM and liberals who see racism EVERYWHERE. They have broadened the definition of racism that criticizing a black politician, even when he/she is dead-ass wrong, is called racism. Baltimore is a dangerous place to live and everyone knows it. It is controlled exclusively by black DemocRats and has been for years, yet Trumps gets called a racist for telling the truth.
No such a thing. What is true is that he tells the unvarnished truth about individuals, without fear or favor. When he targets someone who is a member of a group, Hoskins (the study author) applies the racist criterion by identifying the group as a whole with the single person Trump calls out.. . . Hopkins found the president’s rhetoric . . . did not result in an increase in racist attitudes among Americans.No surprise, then, when
Even when Hoskins misbrands it as racism.Republicans - including Trump - promote colorblindness. Democrats - emphatically including Obama, promote racism against whites.
And spare me the fatuous twaddle about “blacks don’t have the power to be racist.” Obama was POTUS!
this article and the study are ludicrous.
humans are inherently “racist”.
Each and every one of them.
If racism was truly a problem, black employment would not be higher than any time since records were kept.
President Trump speaking TRUTH is not racism. Truth works for white Americans and black Americans.
Same with Baltimore... people who live there know how unsafe their community is - and they know Cummings hasn't done squat to make it better. Speaking truth is NOT racist. Telling lies and NOT dealing with the grim reality of people trapped in crime infested hellholes is NOT a favor to the people who live there... (except 'the elites' - who feed off misery)
bkmk
Obozo tweaked the needle upward but now everything is back to normal. God bless Donald Trump!
