Charleston, Dylann Roof and the racism of millennials

12. It's a bit about both

for instance it talks about how feelings about interracial marriage and dating are about the same between millennial and gen xers.

And this is in the first article I posted as well:

When it comes to explicit prejudice against blacks, non-Hispanic white millennial are not much different than whites belonging to Generation X (born 1965-1980) or Baby Boomers (born 1946-1964). White millennial (using a definition of being born after 1980) express the least prejudice on 4 out of 5 measures in the survey, but only by a matter of 1 to 3 percentage points, not a meaningful difference. On work ethic, 31 percent of millennial rate blacks as lazier than whites, compared to 32 percent of Generation X whites and 35 percent of Baby Boomers.

You can see the answers to other questions here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2015/04/07/white-millennials-are-just-about-as-racist-as-their-parents/

But it's also about structural racism, which is about "what we need to do," which requires you to see it as a problem. Part of structural racism is not recognizing that we have a lot of work to do in this country.
