Asian and Hispanic Americans fall somewhere in between across a battery of questions about views and experiences.But a closer look shows white Democrats are most closely aligned with -- and sometimes more change-oriented than -- Black Americans, while white Republicans are on the other end of the spectrum.Hispanic, Asian American and Black respondents are also somewhat divided by party, but with less of a gap than among whites. There's also less political consequence to their divisions, because there are fewer Republicans in each group and because the populations of these groups are significantly smaller.By the numbers: 57% of white Americans say that "the events of the past year have made me realize there is still a lot of racism in our country," but that breaks down as 35% of white Republicans -- and 93% of white Democrats. By comparison, 80% of Black Americans agreed with that view.
