While "rights" and openness have progressed, acceptance hasn't done so at the same rate.
People can be really stupid-they place their fears on some natural entity so they can see where the "blame" is. Of course, it's all in their heads....blacks aren't stealing their jobs, gays won't hit on them and all the Asian kids won't scoop up their kids' college money, but it's so much easier to mumble than to put out effort.
There are hate crimes a few times a year in New York City that are reported-a transgender gets pummelled by a crowd of punks, a Jewish student gets chased into a street and dies when hit by a car...
Ya can't cure stupid.
