Are Americans more offended by racist remarks or by sexist remarks? CBS News looked into the matter in the context of a poll on how people feel about the prospect of a black president or a female president.

Twenty-one percent of respondents said they’re more offended by “negative comments about African Americans in general,” nearly double the 11 percent who are more offended by “negative remarks about women in general.” Forty-two percent said they’re equally offended by both kinds of comments, while 22 percent don’t take offense at either variety.
