It&#x27;s worth quoting because it is so weird:<p>&quot;[...]Americans today are less friendly to people in the other political party than we are to people of a different race. The researchers conclude that &#x27;Americans increasingly dislike people and groups on the other side of the political divide and face no social repercussions for the open expression of these attitudes.&#x27; As a result, today &#x27;the level of partisan animus in the American public exceeds racial animus.&#x27; That’s saying something!&quot;<p>Is this a bit of light humor about how virulently racist the US is, or is it a call for racial unity beyond politics? I have no idea.
