An academic study shows that racism has decreased during President Trump’s time in office, reports Spectator USA.

NEWSPUNCH — Daniel J. Hopkins and Samantha Washington, two University of Pennsylvania sociologists, ran a study measuring the racial attitudes of 2,500 randomly selected Americans since 2008.

There was also a general fall in anti-Hispanic prejudice, too, although this was more evident among Democrat voters.
