An excellent point mix, I feel the same way. Lots of things I thought were "real" were not and just specters and lip service to the diversity.
I do not think that it is much the case today, but I can see it in other parts of the country when I visit. I wonder "where are the black people?" a lot when I am traveling the US and around the world. I look for the diversity of culture and I don't see it much in other countries either. It's always an us versus them, the invaders, the ones that don't belong here. Yet immigration is strong all over the world, people cross borders to get a better life. Nothing trips me out more than meeting Asian people who speak perfect Castillian Spanish, German, or speaking Icelandic.
I do think that the small minded will be the small minded and they will eventually die off as those in the younger generations grow up with more diverse classrooms and workplaces.
