Dylann Roof and the stubborn myth of the colorblind millennial

"Of course, most young people will never commit a hate crime. But the misperception that they're largely free of racial animus stubbornly lives on, and that's dangerous in itself," writes NPR's Gene Demby.

Demby joins MPR News host Kerri Miller to elaborate on his post that challenges the notion that a post-racial America is around the corner.

America's public schools are more segregated now than they were 40 years ago. Americans continue to live in very different worlds; a 2011 study showed that ethnic identity outranked income as a predictor of where people live.

"Among minority households, even those with relatively high incomes tend to be clustered in neighborhoods where most of their neighbors are the same race and many are poor," the Huffington Post found. The racial gap in household wealth has exploded since the housing bubble burst in 2007. And in the MTV study, white millennials were significantly less likely to say they grew up in families that talked about race compared to people of color the same age.
