"Well, Cyrus, this isn't the 1950's. There is very little prejudice in America today against minorities, and what little there is, is quite possibly more than functionally offset by overwielding programs such as Affirmative Action.

So are you saying you have PERSONALLY OBSERVED an incident of racism which had some serious effect in the areas ACPlayer mentioned? Because that is what I was asking (due to my impression that such incidents are rather rare).
