"College kids in private colleges" are a tiny minority, are you sure that they comprise most of those protesting racism in the U.S. e.g. as regards policing and criminal justice? That's quite disappointing if true.

No. The OP just had mentioned not being sure if it DID occur, so I weighed in to say it did.
I wouldn't say they're most of the people against racism (particularly when it comes to criminal justice and incarceration issues), but they do have an outsized media presence precisely due to their privilege.
These topics are so filter bubbled I don't have a good sense of which, if either, of the two dismissals is objectively more common.

They are tiny minority with a disproportionately loud voice. They are also probably the group where the people with the loudest voices in society tend to be drawn from.
