I may be naive, but I get the impression that racism is a generation thing. It seems that most (not all) people in my age group (I'm 25) seem to be okay with interracial dating, and don't seem to be racist at all. Now, I am from a liberal Northern background, so I have not seen the whole picture, but from what I did see, there doesn't seem to be as big of a problem with race anymore. With that in mind, it is possible that in a few generations we will not see each other as Jewish Americans, African Americans, Italian Americans, Mexican Americans and such, but just see each other as Americans. I am white, but I went to school in New Mexico, so I actually had a dose of being the minority. But it was usually at the hands of an older generation.
