In America at least, it seems for the last century or so, we've been working daily to rid ourselves of racism. Months ago, I would say we've come a long way as far as racism and aside from regular ignorance, we're not usually faced with racist situations 24 hours, 7 days a week.
With today's elections and the weeks preceding them, there appears to be an "uprising" in racism.
By simply logging on facebook, what used to be a kind and friendly site, I'm now seeing "America is going to elect a black and muslim president?" from regular people I know and pass regularly that wouldn't drop an "n bomb" after spotting a black person or call a muslim a terrorist.
Has society simply brushed racism under the carpet and have it still highly in abundance or have we seriously reduced it?
