Racism, in the purest sense of discrimination against another person due to race, is incredibly low in the United States. According to Eric Kaufmann of the Manhattan Institute, less than 10% of Americans are actually truly bigoted.

Worse, it might also…

The young couple were visiting Chicago last weekend, which was unfortunate for them because that weekend was the “Teen Takeover,” wherein teens from the Southside and West Chicago storm the Magnificent Mile. It has become a yearly event.

This year’s “Teen Takeover” was organized on social media, and marauding hordes of teens flooded downtown, especially in the Loop area. Knutson and Garrison-Johnson had just finished shopping and were looking for a place to eat. They waded through a rowdy crowd of teens who decided to start…
