Default definitly

Yes of course it is. I just think its present in different ways now. Its less open segregation and stuff, like our society makes extra effort not to seem racist, like how black people have to be in every tv show...well its less seperating ourselves by race, but its more racial stereotypes. Like how if people were asked who they would most not want to sit by on a plane, they'd say arabs. Or who is most likely to smoke crack and be in a gang? Blacks. Who is most likely to be rich? Whites. Who is most likely to have an A+ in math? Asians.

I don't know, maybe my thoughts are incorrect but that's just what I see.

I also think slavery is still present. Though not as blacks serving whites. I think people are slaves to their lives. They are slaves to their jobs, to drugs, to their spouse, to the ideals and stereotypes (including racial stereotypes) that have them predispositioned to failure.

Anyone care to agree or disagree?
