Michael Tesler, UCI associate professor, political science writes, “Americans’ opinions about race have changed significantly in recent years. After decades of stagnation, white racial attitudes started to shift after the first wave of BLM protests in 2014. Several different surveys show racial attitudes liberalized from 2014 to 2018. The Floyd protests have accelerated the trend."
