There are certain aspects of racism on which all Americans agree. The Klan, for example. Using racial slurs to denigrate someone. Segregated drinking fountains and city buses. The sorts of marks of discrimination that are almost definitionally racist.
Beyond that, opinions differ. While there are unquestionably race-based factors that disadvantage people from particular racial or ethnic groups, the extent to which members of some groups face discrimination (institutional or personal) isn’t broadly agreed upon. CONT.
