Nah. Racism is still very viable in the United States. How many
There's a million half-conscious ways in which the dominant culture
offends minority cultures without realizing it, without intending to,
and definitely not profitting from it.
And for people who would like to deny that any of the above examples
are racist, consider: The effect of each of those statements is to
separate the "American" from the foreigner. The recipient of the
statement is being told that their kind will never be as American as
the speaker, not because of their abilities or where they were born
but merely because of what they look like or where their great-great
grandparents emigrated from. They, and their children are forever
destined to be identified as a "foreigner".
