I think the conclusions presented here are generally correct, but I suspect that there may be a correlation between self-reported perceptions of racism and self-reported darker skin which is due to some people’s conception of their identity rather than to objective skin color. In other words, people with the same skin color who perceive themselves as experiencing more racism may also perceive themselves as having darker skin. (With that said, I expect that this effect, if it exists, is smaller than the real increased racism against people with darker skin.)

I wonder if there’s a way to know how many of the people claiming that whites experience more racism genuinely believe that versus how many are just saying that because they’ll say whatever is the opposite of what liberals would say.
