Yep. Researchers were shocked to find that racist beliefs have declined in whites, since Trump's election.
Where have YOU been?
Mostly home, I'm retired so I can peruse social media and read what white America believes. Trump supporters dominate his detractors on social median dozens to one. Most of the racsim is covert, but some are very open about their hate for minorities and even women.
I'm not surprised that a researcher could come to that conclusion, if they started to prove it. Reality is afoot at every mall in America where we see diverse crowds of friends together; in all shades of color, form deep black to blue eyed blondes and all in between.
Don't be surprised when the 18 to 25 year old set votes against the hate which has been spewed from the mouth and tweets by trump and those who support his lack of decorum.
Most of the links I found were behind pay walls, that I refuse to fund, but here is the conclusion. I suspect you are already on some of the news sites with better reports.
Despite Trump’s racial rhetoric, white prejudice has gone down, Penn study finds
"The researchers began with an assumption that prejudice is typically a stable tendency, acquired early in life. They wondered
if Trump’s candidacy, speech, and policy positions on racial issues influenced white Americans’ prejudice.
They questioned whether the president may have normalized those views, essentially authorizing white Americans to more openly express prejudice. They also wondered if Trump would influence Americans in his role as an opinion leader, as some citizens adopt positions advocated by political elites, especially if those elites share the same political orientation, the study said.
“Our findings contradict both hypotheses,” the authors wrote, “as we primarily found declining prejudice and racial resentment, and certainly no increases.”

To the extent that you are right about the youth vote, what you are describing is the win of the Lie over the Truth.
You are in the wrong.
