💨 Abstract

The poll indicates a shift in U.S. adults' views on racial discrimination since 2021. Only 45% now believe Black people face high levels of discrimination, down from 60%. Similar declines are seen for Asian people. Views differ significantly along political and racial lines, with many believing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) efforts either increase discrimination or make no difference. Some companies have retreated from diversity practices under political pressure, influencing these changing perceptions.
