Do you think that America is less racis than 20 years ago, if you think it is why do you feel that way ?

Question

I am not racist. I know my values, do you?

Answer 1

I think it depends where you are. Some places may not be racist at all or it's harder to find. Other places it's very blatant still. I think where I live it's pretty racist because it's not that diverse. I grew up in a community that was not diverse and racism was high. It's because of ignorance. I think it has improved in some areas but it has not improved in other areas in the past 20 years.

edit: It bothers me that we still concern ourselves with a person's race or ethnic background.

Answer 2

I do think that America is less racist than it was 20 years ago.  I don't think 20 years ago you would have seen Obama as the expected Democratic nominee.  Don't get me wrong I think we have a long way to go but I don't think racism is as prevalent as it was 20 years ago.  

Answer 3

From my observations, I'm not so sure I agree, because of the blatant racism I see from so many of those in the minorities.  I guess you might call it reverse racism.

  

I've always felt we should be color rich, not color blind, and that's how I raised my children.  I used to feel this mixture we have in the US of various cultures and races was something to embrace and respect.  That's getting harder to do and it's disturbing.

Yes, I am Southern.  No, I am not a racist.  Oddly enough, when my company moved my family to California, I saw more racism there than I ever witnessed in Georgia.  

Answer 4

I think this country is just as racist as it ever was...just different folks are victims now.....and here's a clue....it's NOT the ones who whine and cry about racism all the time really suffering.
