MRW I spend too much time on Reddit

Because your idea of racism is confined to about physical violence

When did I say that? All I said was "Sexism and Racism still exist. But to stay that they are just as prevalent as it was in the past is ignorant as hell."

Which can also be said of the stats you linked.

Yes...that is the point. These two studies are too small to generalize an entire generation.

How long is a generation again?

Millennials are early 80s to late 90s, meaning they would be between 0-20 during these studies.

Well I'm glad you could give your unprofessional, unsourced interpretation of what that means. But it wasn't children who took these tests. So what's your excuse? "Well tribalism...." Yes, the foundation of racism.

What else could this mean? "As people age, social identity theory would predict that they will likewise develop more positive attitudes towards the group (Tajfel & Turner, 1986), a finding that is strongly supported by the accumulated research". The source is here

It was children who took these tests. Two of the major age groups were 0-10 and and 10-20. 10-20(early Millennials) were "less" racist than the 0-10(late Millennials)

Great; I'm sure that makes up for the decaying reservations and existing racial caricatures in the media.

Nope, it most certainly does not. I was using it to show one of the many examples of racism being less prevalent in the IAT tests.

Just because we have a black president and whites are more likely now say they're not racist than 30 years ago (despite people who claim they're colorblind still demonstrating implicit racial bias), doesn't mean it's not.

No, but to make the claim that were are requires concrete evidence. Which there is not. I would love to be able to say that we are more or less racist, but actually doing research leads to the conclusion that we honestly don't know right now.

You're right, I can't say that we are "less" racist. And you can't say that we are "just as" racist. Unfortunately stereo types are difficult to get rid of, but it would make sense that they are going down with each passing generation. At least I hope they are.
