SUMMARY: Americans born in the Millennial generation are more likely to say they're not racist and less likely to use racist expressions. But subconscious prejudices still persist. Hari Sreenivasan visits a psychology lab at New York University, where researchers test subjects’ instinct and decision-making to learn more about these implicit biases.
JUDY WOODRUFF (NewsHour): Research shows that millennials, young people between 18 and 35, as we mentioned a few minutes ago, compared to their parents, are more racially diverse and more accepting of other races.
Many were surprised and frankly upset by the University of Oklahoma students who were caught making racist chants on video.
Well, Hari Sreenivasan wanted to learn more about racial bias among millennials, and he brings us a story about his visit to a research lab focused on race.
His report is another installment in our series Race Today.
JONATHAN MENTOR: I believe that there is less racism in this particular generation.
HARI SREENIVASAN (NewsHour): Many millennials were shocked this month by the blatant racism shown in this viral video from the fraternity at the University of Oklahoma coming from people their own age.
