Equality for health, education and money
I think the most important is helping out small business

Infrastructure, labor pool, energy, natural resource management, water
They must address climate change immediately. The impact of strong storms, flooding, impacts to our crumbling infrastructure. With inflation rising, residents can't afford to buy extra things for when the power goes out for 2-5 days at a time. They need to confront our electric (DTE asking for an 8.8% increase in our electric bills when they made millions in revenue). The utility companies should be using their revenue to improve their infrastructure, instead of passing it on to already strapped customers.

In what ways, if any, do you believe you personally are treated differently because of your race or ethnicity?
My children were treated differently in college admissions because of their race.
I believe that I am able to enjoy the freedom from fear and freedom that we all think should be available to everyone. I enjoy those freedoms because I am white. I do not think everyone has my experience.
I am not treated differently because of my race
People assume things about me due to my race
In no way except where minority quotas are established
As a 66 year old white female, I feel my age is more a factor in how I am treated than my race or ethnicity.
I'm not wanted in most black establishments.
im accepted in my community just the same as others
I involuntarily benefit from “white privilege”.
I am treated better than a woman of race in stores, restaurants and any public facility
I’m not treated differently because I’m white and with that I get the privilege of no judgment unlike people of color or different ethnic groups
I know affirmative action has been an issue. It is generally hard to know because people will not admit their reasoning in these cases.
being white, I never experience unfair treatment for white people. But, I believe on rate occasions Black people have used their race as excuse to be rude.
I don't get treated and different than any other person
On a day-to-day basis, I don’t believe I am treated differently based on race or ethnicity.
Black people are targeted by police here
I'm a large, bald, bearded white guy. People often look at me like I'm an aging redneck, skinhead or biker. I'm none of those things.
I definitely get a break as an older white woman. I have friends of colour and see this all the time when we hang out. If we get separated, they start getting followed around in stores, or get the bad tables in restaurants, etc… until I speak up and make a stink.
I'm a white female so I don't get grilled about returning items, I don't get stalked in stores by security, I usually get waived through at Walmart exits, and I didn't have issues with my license when voting in person.
I have not experienced being treated differently
I’m white, so I have gotten away with a lot of things in my life that I know POC don’t typically get away with. I’ve had very few hurdles in life. The hurdles I have faced I believe are more because I’m a woman.
I'm not treated different because of my race or ethnicity but I have dealt with being treated different because I'm a woman
I get treated bad at jobs because im a beautiful intelligent blonde woman
Blacks seem to be very racist toward whites and assume because I am white I have privilege and money. Neither of which are true.
I am a senior white woman. I am treated very well almost all of the time. Younger people and people of color are not treated as well, I'm sure.
Im a white male. Im treated fine or i leave!
I don’t believe I am in any noticeable ways
Because white people think they are above black people
I have not personally been treated unfairly on account of race or ethnicity
As a white male, I don't encounter racial, gender-based or ethnic discrimination.
Getting the accurate information that is needed
Generational poverty in relation to race. The system wronged my ancestors which had a domino affect onto me. As a first generation Latina on my paternal side and fourth generation Latina on my maternal side, I have experienced the financial hardships due to disparities in systems causing unfair income earned situations. I’m a first generation college grad who will forever have student loans due to it.
Being white I was born with unearned privilege and unlike people of color I am not subjected to systemic racism nor am I targeted by people and institutions based in the color of my skin.
it is popular to be down on white people these days
I am a black woman so I am a double minority. I am looked down upon twice.
As a white, male, senior citizen I sometimes find myself feeling like an “inferior” person and treated with little respect by the youth. Not necessarily because of race or ethnicity.
No, I do not feel as though I am treated differently.
Nobody bothers me in public as a white woman
I don't think they are treated differently
I have been repeatedly denied employment and career advancement opportunities due to my race (I am white).
Whites are being treated like third class citizens. The racial slurs and anti white sentiment is disgraceful since the blacks have always been treated as equals in our area. Though it existed by a few , poor treatment of anyone was not accepted.
I suffer from reverse discrimination. Many opportunities and benefits are unavailable to me because I'm a white male.
Sometimes treated as less because I'm a woman!
I’m white. Of course I’m treated differently (ie better) than minorities.
I believe the white people are the ones treated differently due to majority of blacks and some whites are so use to be getting federal aid, state aid, food stamp cards, free medical, free grants for college ! Why should they work. They get hand outs and govt or states don’t monitor them. They need to pay back money they receive after they start working. Always get a free ride or free social security. Like 5 checks to one house. Ridiculous! Get the system right! I’ve work for 46 years and your still taking taxes out of my check or I got to pay 180$ for Medicare B. Totally ridiculous!
I think I have more privilege than Black or Latino residents. As a white woman, I have had and continue to have more advantages and opportunities than others. I believe I'm trusted and believed more often and don't have to fear for my life when I'm being pulled over by a cop.
The police have actively been antisemitic toward me. This was 20 years ago. Things have gotten worse and I know if it came down to it, I would have to defend myself against antisemites because the police are sympathetic and also have no duty to protect me or my family. The state needs to collapse.
Followed when entering stores, followed by police, started at when walking downtown
i don't think i am treated any different
Define treated differently. In different situations i am treated differently. If someone is not respected as a member of the human race because of their ethnicity, then that is wrong, no matter the ethnicity. We are one race = human. We are many ethnicities which makes life more interesting.
My race doesn't factor in but my gender does. I'm treated like an outcast or lesser person because of it
It's Michigan. It's hard to say as political lines change interactions as much as race
Not treated differently. If you’re willing to work hard and overcome obstacles, then you will be successful.
i dont feel like im treated differently than anyone else
I don't believe I am treated differently because of my race or ethnicity.
I am treated better because I am white which is bs.
Minorities get more attention and pandering
i think that our community nearly is very healthy under social justic , i didnot have seen any negative situation
I don't think that I have been mistreated because of my race. I think that I have been mistreated by humans who weren't at their best at times
I am not treated unfairly, being white in a conservative county
Yes, because our government leaders are always trying to divide us by our race. This is wrong!
I believe that because of my race, I was passed over for a promotion at my previous job. I have also had an employee at one of my first jobs treat me different because I am black.
I believe that it makes people look at me differently and have preconceived notions that affect how I am treated.
I'm white in Detroit, a majority black city. I have encountered the occasional black person that felt offended that I attended an event being white.
I don't get all the free handouts that some people do. We get by on social security and only a small pension more. We have to pay our way for everything and do not get anything for free like many people do. They do better than us in lots of ways.
at work black people get moved up the ladeer easy
As a white person, I've been given more leeway by cops, as well as being less likely to be racially profiled by store owners etc
I don't think I have been treated differently because of my race.
Not given access to opportunities that whites are
Not selected for jobs because race and/or gender
I'm white and have more privilege but since I am a woman I feel like I am not taking seriously by figures of authority.
I don't think about that. I believe in hard work and loyalty.
Since I am old and white, no one perceives me as a threat.
I'm a white male heterosexual - not "WOKE" idiot
i am gay. No need to be any "other" to be discriminated against
In the workplace believing that I cannot do a job as well or if not better than my white counterparts. Being treated differently because of the color of my skin.
Because of the term "equity" there will be cases which I personally think that I will be discriminated against.
As a white woman I have more privilege than most demographic groups but less than the white man.
I don’t personally experience many racist interactions from others as a mixed race woman but know others who are black and have been treating less kindly or even ignored versus over clients/customers.
because of my white skin, I do not feel judged the minute I leave my house. I am part of the dominant race so the color of my skin does not hinder me when I am in most public situations.
I am treated just the same as any other legal citizen
I am treated differently since I am a woman.Paid less, treated as though I am inferior.
I am WHITE - and, unfortunately, am endowed with "priviledge." Systems (education, governmental, voting, housing, etc) allow me to have easy access. This is gross inequity.
I don’t believe I am treated differently at all.
As far as I can tell I have never Been treated unfairly
not treated any different to those of other races
Merits being overlooked because someone has a quota to fill or someone being on the job longer
Overall treatment from clerks and servers. There is always profiling. We are humans after all
I don't feel that in my neighborhood anyone is treated differently because of race.
elderly females are treated like they are idiots
I I think that people assume I'm privileged just because I'm white but can't see all the opportunities I've been denied for reasons I can not control.
feel unsafe when going into black areas of Detroit
I don't go out much so luckily I don't have to deal with racism much. I was mainly around a nice, accepting and respectful crowd luckily. I do feel like sometimes people think I'm not very smart because of my color. I feel like it's harder to get opportunities (not all the time, but sometimes.)
I pay for what others get for free. Student loans and illegal immigrants
Rural people have more issues with health care and voting because we don't have public transportation. People who live in cities have access to all those things, no excuses.
It is what it is. I think problem stems more in poverty ve wealth than racially
I'm caucasian, so I don't feel the effects.
People like to dismiss the fact I am Chicano because I have a light complexion. People assume I'm Catholic because I'm Hispanic.
People assume I have it easier because of my color.
I'm not. I'm treated differently because my disability. Disability forces poverty.
School scores and college acceptance- my scores have to be higher as collages HAVE to accept a specific percentage of “minorities” in each race. I’m white and female population…
In certain situations like in stores in amusement parks in alot of social situations
In stores where I and a white person are there, but the clerk assumes the white person is first.
When being pulled over they don’t come up with gun in hand
Affirmative action started the year I graduated high school. I have been a second (or third) class job seeker my whole life.
I think some black government employees are curt and rude to me because I am an old white man. I am out of the job market , but I know corporate affirmative action plans make it more difficult for white males to secure employment.
I've never been treated fairly,and always seem to have many problems due to disfunction in the family
I don't think I am personally treated differently.
A client received a referral from my fellow statistical consultant asking him to see me because I had a better understanding of his kind of problem. When we met, he verbally expressed his disappointment, suggesting that he doubted my abilities to provide the help he needed because he taught the person he was referred to should have been White or Asian.
I don't know, I take situations as they come. You. Really can't say,all people are different some good some bad.
I am of Hispanic origin, but I look and identify as white and I have benefitted from white privilege all my life.
I think that this excuse is used way to often and people do not correct when there is bad behavior. Because of not holding people responsible for their actions we have created anarchy
I have been passed up for jobs in the past in favor of less-qualified minority applicants.
I have been assaulted for being white, I have had black patients refuse to allow me to care for them because I am a white nurse. Everyday, white people are being attacked for being racist when they don't even care what color some is.
Probably have more access to certain areas without scrutiny (shops, etc)
White people are being villified by the government and media
I enjoy white privilege despite my attempts to change the perceptions of others.
I don't have to fear getting pulled over that a cop will kill me for no reason. I don't have to worry about being treated negatively because of my skin color.
I'm a white female, I don't think it's a huge problem for me.
I have a born privilege because I was born white.
Do not know how to pronounce my name therefore treat me like an outsider.
As a white person, I have been accepted within multiethnic/multiracial communities. However, I am very aware of the language and prejudices I hear when I am in an entirely white group. I am lucky to have privilege as a white person. But it is wrong.
I don't believe I am treated differently.
Race is secondary to narrative and actions in most interactions. I have been in all minority settings where I feel like I am viewed suspiciously.
I experience white privilege and may be treated differently in certain situations than Black people or members of other minority groups might be treated in the same situation.
the woke society is demonizing me as being white
I am not treated differently. Nobody should be. It isn't a matter of skin color, it's a matter of who a person is.
I’m white. Any bias towards me is due to my gender.
I am a privileged person because I am white. I get treated better than a person of color or ethnicity.
I believe people should be treated by their character not by their race. You are racist for asking this question and I am ashamed of you.
I've never been treated differently because of my race, that I've taken notice of, at least.
I'm white, so the cards are stacked in my favor. People don't assume I'm a criminal because of my skin color.
Nobody treats me different. This topic is getting the weak people to cry about an issue that doesn't make sense to me.
I don’t see a race problem more a class problem
It depends, when you're dealing with a racist white person, they may look at you a certain way. I live in a predominantly white neighborhood, and I haven't really experienced this
I don't know that I am. From my perspective, it's always seemed less that there are specific advantages to being white but more that there are clear disadvantages to not being white. White people are simply treated with some level of basic human dignity and respect that should be extended to all people in all situations.
I generally do not have to think about my race or sex. unlike others from other ethnicities.
Watched people come in behind me by years an be offered a promotion ahead of me
NONE, IF YOU WANT SOMETHING USE THE RIGHT TRACKS TO GET IT.
I don't think I am. And I am songetting tired of this race shot that is going on. We're all human and bleed the same. No one is better then the other so get over it.
I have not experienced being treated differently than others. I love that many different nationalities live in my area. I tutor foreign children for free in Grammar and writing skills. All children are wonderful and deserve to be treated equally in all areas of life.
None. This is an issue for any group. Crime is. Lack of judicial punishment.
There are many racially imposed barriers that I don’t have to deal with. Ever.
Assumptions about interests, behaviors, views
I don't know. I'm tired of race this, race that. We're all humans.
I believe that I am treated better because of my race. As a white woman, in general I am treated with more respect and fairness than my counterparts who are of a minority race. White privilege.
The only color that matters in America is green. It isnt race or sex. It is class. Helping blacks and not whites is racist.
I am always treated with respect and I do not worry about advocating for myself. I will not be labeled as unreasonable, angry, ignorant, etc.
As a white male I am discriminated against when it comes to employment options.
Job opportunities in government are always filled by race. Student loans were denied. Denied a job because of my race.
I do not see a difference except blacks blame there situation on others instead of working to improve himself
Calling an 81 year old 20year veteran who almost died 3 times for his country A WHITE SUPREMASIST is rediculous
I’m white. I think that comes with a privilege that I didn’t necessarily earn. I believe white people are generally treated better than people of color.
I am not. I think I may be because I am female, but not because of my race
Because I'm poor I get treated less than
I don’t think I personally am treated differently.
I don't feel like I am treated differently.
i am white and feel I have advantages that blacks don't have, There is systemic racism in our system---we need to change that. I am better off being white.
Being white is a strike against people as minorities are favored in almost all aspects of life even though this discrimination is deemed ok. It's all racism and the term equity is garbage.
