Most black people (much more so than white people) say that blacks face a lot of discrimination. And they would know, having experienced it first-hand throughout their lives. What's fascinates me here is that blacks are also significantly more likely to see discrimination against other groups, particularly Hispanics. My theory: experiencing discrimination heightens your awareness of it in all forms.
