A recent poll from from NPR, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, showed that majorities in many ethnic, identity and racial groups 

believe their own group faces discrimination

That includes white people, with the majority of those surveyed saying 

 when it comes to employment, education and in a variety of other ways.

But when those surveyed were asked to come up with personal examples of that discrimination, most couldn't do it.

And in the cases where respondents could, it wasn't always clear if race actually played a factor in their experience.

This week, the hosts of Counter Stories looked at what discrimination looks like, how different groups deal with discrimination and how to improve understanding when it comes to racial prejudice.
