Half of white youth believe reverse discrimination outweighs traditional discrimination

Evidence

One third of whites think affirmative action programs frequently “deprive someone… of their rights,” and half of white youth (compared with one-fifth of black youth) think that more whites lose out to blacks due to “special preference” than blacks lose to whites due to prejudice (Hochsehild, 1995:144, 308; Steeh and Krysan, 1996:139-40). — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 1992
