A large majority of young people think that racism is a significant problem in the U.S., according to recent polls.
In May, Pew Research Center reported approximately two-thirds of millennials (born between 1981 and 1996) and Gen-Zers (born after 1996) said that Black Americans are treated less fairly than white Americans. About half of respondents in older generations agreed.
In June, Business Insider and partner groups polled nearly 39,000 Americans aged 13 to 25. Of the poll's respondents, 88% said that Black Americans faced racial discrimination.
In a July survey of more than 3,000 people between the ages of 18 and 36 organized by a University of Chicago professor, 64% said that racism remains a major problem in U.S. society.
