Don't disagree with you, but don't really know your argument here. What does that have to do with intolerance in youth? I mean sure, as you get to a certain age you are less likely to act on your racist tendencies because you got to start worrying about your profession etc. But when the argument is that youth tend to be more tolerant and data shows they commit upwards of 70% of hate-crimes, there's at least some disconnect going on.
You got to be cautious with some of the data as there isn't really hate-crime based theft etc. but still 70% of hate crimes based on sexual orientation are committed by 12-24 year olds.
