Views on this have changed in recent years, according to Pew Research Center surveys. In 2019, 57% said people overlooking racial discrimination was the bigger problem, while 42% pointed to people seeing it where it really didn’t exist. That gap has narrowed from 15 to 8 percentage points.

    So, in your scenario, person gets called names by a few ignorant people and flips to full on racist?

    I think it’s more likely they were already racist and getting their feelings hurt allows them to justify it.
