In issues of immigration and religion, it'll always be an issue. People will accuse others of being racist over issues of illegal immigration, but they'll seek out and live in an all-white or all-black or all-(same ethnicity) neighborhood. They'll put their kids in better school districts if they can afford to, while voting a straight liberal ticket their entire lives. They'll dress themselves a certain way, speak a certain way, pray a certain way, dance a certain way, drink certain things, go to certain restaurants, go to/stay away from certain parts of town, entertain themselves a certain way, all their friends will be a certain way....people make discriminating choices on a daily basis...but call them racist for doing so and you offend their sensibilities. They want to think they're too sophisticated, tolerant and non-judgmental, but in my experience they're just as opinionated as the next person, they just try to hide it as best they can. It's one of life's dirty little secrets. My 2 cents.
