I want to know about the demographic breakdown _within_ the Millennial generation w.r.t how people answer the question about whether gov’t should be allowed to prevent people from saying things offensive to minorities.

Is there some way to get at the underlying data in order to see this? I don’t see a link to it. (There’s a link in the first paragraph but it doesn’t seem to be to the data underlying the survey results discussed in the article.)
