Why it matters: Politics and social media amplify racial division. But in daily life — at work, in friendships and in families — Americans report far more interracial contact, and far less race-based decision-making, than the national mood suggests. - The shift is largely generational, driven by rising interracial marriage and changing demographics, dramatically reshaping of daily life. - Meanwhile, high-profile racist rhetoric on social media — including from national political figures — reinforces a…
