Two in five millennials say the government should censor people who make 'offensive' public statements about minority groups
Americans aged 18 to 34 are most likely to believe the government should prevent people from saying offensive things about minority groups
Forty per cent of people in this age group agreed with the statement, compared with just 12 per cent of those aged 70 to 87 Meanwhile 58 per cent of Millennials said they thought people should be able to speak freely, compared with 80 per cent of 70 to 87 year olds
American Millennials are far more likely than older generations to say the government should be able to prevent people from saying offensive statements about minority groups.
Two in five Millenials - ie those aged 18 to 34 - believe the government should be able to prevent people from saying such things.
Pew say it found the results striking because only around a quarter of Generation Xers (27 per cent) and Boomers (24 per cent) - ie those aged 35 to 50 and those aged 51 to 69 - say the government should be able to prevent such speech.
The survey also found that compared with other countries, Americans hold the values of free speech dear and on the whole are less likely to favor the government being able to prevent speech of any kind.
The global survey found that two-thirds of Americans say that people should be able to say offensive things about minority groups publicly.
The topic what kind of speech should be tolerated also has resonance given recent news events, with racial issues on U.S. college campuses to questions about speech laws in Europe and views on refugees from the Middle East in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Paris.

So, in a few years when whites become a minority (in the absence of The Great Wall Of Trump), will these precious snowflakes call for the government to censor “offensive” comments about the white minority?
Careful. PewFoundation leans left.
Western civilization is busy committing cultural suicide before the islamic invasion. All they have to do is move in and be allowed to stay. By getting on our welfare programs they drain our resources while they out breed us and in less than two generations they take over.
Those 40% need their asses kicked (to paraphrase the (black) comedian, George Wallace).
If this happens, leftists will have nothing to talk about when whites are a minority.
