About 30 percent of white Americans support reparations as of 2023

Evidence

BACK TO NOTE REFERENCE 10 “Estimates for Asian adults are representative of English speakers only. Note: Black adults include those who say their race is Black Alone and non-Hispanic; multiracial, non-Hispanic Black; or Black and Hispanic. White and Asian respondents include those who report being only one race and are not Hispanic. Hispanics are of any race. ‘Some college’ includes adults who have an associate degree and those who attended college but did not obtain a degree.” Blazina and Cox, Black and White Americans Are Far Apart. But Tatishe M. Nteta points out, “the results of a 2023 UMass Poll, which found that about 30% of the white population in the U.S. now support reparations for Black Americans.” — Dorothy A. Brown, Getting to Reparations, 1110
