The social issue that most divides young Republicans and Democrats is race. Young White Democrats are actually slightly more likely than young Blacks (of both parties) to say that Black people face a considerable amount of discrimination, but only a minority of young White Republicans agree—instead, 6 out of 10 disagree (see Figure 8.7). In contrast, young White Republicans are more than three times as likely as young White Democrats to say that White people face a considerable amount of discrimination—3 out of 10 think so, vs. 1 out of 10 young White Democrats.
