Nonwhite

Gen Z is the most racially and ethnically diverse generation in history, with 48% in 2018 being nonwhite.

An American company began offering brown-toned slippers last year, and last month, Britain's oldest ballet apparel supplier began offering shoes made to better match the skin color of nonwhite dancers.

By 2016, however, a divide that started appearing in the preceding few years came into full relief—that year, 29% of nonwhite liberals (28% of nonwhite Democrats) and 38% of Black liberals (34% of Black Democrats), disagreed that “Blacks should work their way up without special favors.”

“It’s already clear that the 2020 electorate will be unique in several ways. Nonwhites will account for a third of eligible voters — their largest share ever — driven by long-term increases among certain groups, especially Hispanics,” according to a Pew Research report.

That said, and as I reiterate and elaborate on later below, there is nothing in this dissertation’s theory that precludes similar post-Floyd shifts in the racial attitudes of nonwhites. I leave it up to future research, though, to tackle this question.
