问题     Is anti-white bias a problem? A new study says whites think discrimination against them is a bigger problem than anti-black bias. They feel threatened by "【C1】______racism".
    In what some have called the new post-racial era, what constitutes discrimination is【C2】______. A new study has found that Americans think significant progress has been made in the fight【C3】______anti-black bias.

White Americans see blacks’ progress as a(n) 【C7】______of their status.
    Is this finding surprising? Do we see this view【C8】______in government policies or court decisions? If so, how?
    Our recent research【C9】______that white and black Americans agree that bias against blacks was【C10】______in the 1950’s and 1960’s. And many Americans support the march【C11】______full and equal rights for all. 【C12】______when blacks see such racism as continuing, whites【C13】______to see it as a problem that has been more or less "solved".
    Many whites now believe that it’s anti-white bias that’s on a rise, to the point where it’s even more【C14】______than anti-black bias.
    Why would the perception of anti-white bias have increased【C15】______among whites, particularly in recent years? The answer is still【C16】______. What is certain is that this【C17】______is a danger to the nation. In fact, for all the gains of the civil rights movement, blacks【C18】______among the poorest, most isolated and most unemployed of all Americans. But such reality is【C19】______to white fellow citizens who are【C20】______instead by fantasies of competitive victimhood.
【C20】
选项 A、rejected
B、associated
C、cared
D、driven

解析 由fantasies“幻想，空想”可知这是一种想法、态度，be driven by是固定搭配，表示“为……所驱使”，句子意为“相反，他们受幻想驱使，争相认为自己是受害者”。
