How common is racism against black people in the U.S.? The answer largely depends on the ethnicity of the person you ask. In a new Gallup survey, 56 percent of respondents said they believe anti-black racism is “widespread.” Among non-Hispanic-white respondents, a bare majority voiced that opinion (51 percent). Among black respondents, nearly four-fifths did so (78 percent). Hispanic respondents fell in the middle on this question, with 59 percent saying they believe anti-black racism is common in the U.S.
Probing deeper, Gallup also asked how important such racism is in constricting black Americans’ lives.
