A Washington Post analysis of Pew Research Center polling on racial issues shows that half of white people do not sense black people are treated less fairly than whites -- by police, employers, doctors, restaurants and schools, and at the ballot box.
The whites who see no racism around them are far more conservative than the population as a whole, more often male and more likely to live in rural areas. Three-fifths of white Republicans see no racism, compared to about a third of white Democrats.
A far smaller share of blacks do not see racial discrimination in their communities: 13 percent, or slightly more than one in eight. Hispanics were closer to blacks on the issue, with 24 percent not seeing discrimination across all seven areas the poll measured. Conversely, blacks were five times more likely than whites to report widespread racial disparities across their communities.
The survey, from 2013, asked respondents if black people in their community were treated less fairly than whites in seven different areas: in dealing with the police, in the courts, on the job or at work, in stores or restaurants, in local public schools, in getting health care and when voting in elections.
In every case except dealing with police, a majority or plurality of all respondents said blacks were not treated less fairly. In every instance, though, at least 4 in 10 blacks said they were treated less fairly.
