Extensive study finds discrimination claims are mostly bullshit*

You seem to have different data than the researchers and have clearly come to different conclusions than the researchers in the article. Why don't you share your illustrious knowledge with the rest of us?

A. The article doesn't even make any claims about how many people have experienced discrimination. It just makes a claim about how many self report to have experienced discrimination.
B. I know of business who flat out will not hire a black person. Do any of the black people who never get a call back or never get a job there have any idea they're being discriminated against? Probably not most of them. That doesn't mean they're not being discriminated against.
C. You're making a massive leap to go from "31% of African Americans claim to have been discriminated against" to "discrimination claims are mostly bullshit". The article doesn't claim that, common sense doesn't support that as a logical conclusion from the article.

TL; DR: Meh. This is just classic confirmation bias. It's telling because you want it to be telling. But these exact comments are made by players every single time there's a regime change. Sometimes they're telling, sometimes they're not. Time will tell.

Either way it will be interesting.

71% of blacks, not 31%, responded with rarely, sometimes, often, in the study. 29% said never. The article is counting "rarely" as "never". Almost like they have an agenda.

Are some discrimination claims bullshit? Sure, just as some abuse claims are and some rape claims and some police brutality claims etc.

But most of them are legitimate.

Instinctively we all have known this to be true.

No, I'm pretty sure when someone who is not white and male falls on their face, it was not their fault but more a systemic culture that didn't allow them to thrive.

Da fuq? Know how to read?

Yes.

A study recently conducted by a group of university professors found that only 25 percent of Americans responded affirmatively to ever experiencing discrimination.

So that translates to discrimination claims being bullshit? You are some kind of special.

BTW...23% of whites felt discrimination too.

And they are all liars and pussies, too.
