I find it hard to believe that people can think racism is dead now that we have a black president... He only won by 52% which means there are a lot of people who don't like him. We still have a LOT to overcome in this country, and it frustrates me because it won't be long until minorities become the majority. Back in highschool, I learned about the US being a "melting pot" of people and culture. This is a young country and most families have immigrated here, in one generation or other. So it makes perfect sense that people continue to immigrate here and diversify the country. Get over it. I'm so tired of hatred in the 21st century... but it just shows how YOUNG we are and how much we still have to learn, collectively. :T
Like the OP, I believe there will be a spike of racism and violent acts for a period of time now that race is more in the forefront of america. We can't just ignore it anymore, say hushhush and sweep it under the rug..
