A lot of racial tension still stems from the parents. Kids learn from their parents and until kids start thinking on their own, they will continue to be brainwashed by the parents into the belief that Race A is superior to Race B, C, D and E.
A lot of this still comes from segregation. Expecially in small towns in the south and midwest. Take my father-in-law for example. He grew up in a small town in Oklahoma. He will get along with people of other races because he has to in his job. Get him outside his job and he will tell you that he is about as racist as you can get. And to a point he acts this way with people he doesn't know.
Personally I think there are assholes in every race as well as decent people of every race. I'd just as soon stick all the assholes in a group and hate them together.
