Whites believe they are the primary victims of racial bias in America, a new study suggests. Whites and blacks agree that anti-black racism has decreased. However, whites believe that "reverse racism" has increased and is now a bigger problem than anti-black racism -- despite the fact that societal disparities still show worse outcomes for blacks than whites in income, home ownership, health and jobs, the study's authors say.
