That's weird, because 69% of republicans said they believe more needs to be done to ensure equal rights regardless of ethnic background in the same poll.
Pew was being disingenuous, that's why. From their own data, it's actually 45% that now saw White people benefit from advantages that Black people do not have. Only 34% of republicans don't think white people benefit from advantages Black people do not have at all. (That's still a ridiculous number to me, by the way)
6% say "White people benefit a great deal from advantages Black people lack"
If you were applying for a job at a Fortune 500 company or to get into a top tier university (with equal skills and qualifications), would you rather be a black candidate or a white candidate?
