Actual discrimination is probably even lower than the 20% reported.

Meanwhile, if you ask a minority if they’ve been discriminated against, the odds are that nearly all will claim that they’ve been a victim. And we can list how:
1) police stops
2) lost job opportunities
3) lost education opportunities
4) inability to get loans
5) wage stagnation
etc..

We know that police discriminate based on race.
We know banks and lenders discriminate against minorities.
We know landlords discriminate against minorities.
We know that colleges and universities have to do more.

What we see is that even in higher education, when minorities are given preferences, whites claim they’re being discriminated against even though legacy entrance gives them a preference that blacks don’t have (and is often a bigger segment of the new students).
