An Astonishing Percentage of Americans Believe White People Are ‘Under Attack.’ Here’s Why They’re Wrong

This week, the polling company Ipsos released a poll in conjunction with Reuters and the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics. Most of the numbers coincided with what one would assume the average American thinks about subjects like Confederate statues, neo-Nazis and white nationalism, but there were two results that stunningly revealed the attitudes of many people around the country.

When pollsters asked the participants in the poll if “America must protect and preserve its White European heritage,” 31 percent agreed with the statement. Only 34 percent of the respondents disagreed.


If this poll is truly representative, it is shocking that such a high percentage of people even believe that America has a “white, European heritage.”

But it was the results of the following questions that raised eyebrows:

Reuters/Ipsos/UVA Center for Politics Race Poll
You read that correctly. More people agree that white people are under attack than disagree with that statement. It is unfair to selectively extrapolate opinions from statistics, but if we make the assumption that:

  1. The results are representative of the population (which is the purpose of polling), and
  2. It was white respondents who agreed with the idea that white people are currently under attack ...
... then it is reasonable to conclude that a majority of white people think they are under attack. Let us dive into this theory for a moment. The definition of “attack” in the noun form is:

  1. an aggressive and violent action against a person or place
  2. an offensive or scoring action
  3. the beginning of destructive action
So 39 percent of people, or most white Americans, believe that this country is actively trying to cause them harm or destroy them. Let’s look at this with logic and reason. If we accept this premise, there can be only three conclusions:

  1. They are correct. They are under attack. They can see the concrete effects that they are being targeted for extinction.
  2. They are wrong. They are not under attack. Someone or something (either emotion, feelings or an outside force) tricked them into believing something that is not true.
  3. White people are crazy. This is not a judgment or a slur. Crazy is a thing. It is quantifiable, but we will get to that.

It probably has something to do with the anti-White redirect constantly being spoken whether on or off the internet. They may not be getting attacked like they claim but when people are allowed to talk about you anyway they want it can come off as an "attack"; especially if white people try to reply in self defense and they're constantly called "racist" or "Nazis" or can even lose their jobs. It like how gays and can say whatever they want about straight people but any responses to their comments will be shut down as "homophobia" or "gay bashing". Or how women can openly criticize men while men can't do the same in return, when things are that one sided people will feel attacked and eventually they will get tired of that which is what's happening in the US right now.
