Default Re: Racism:Do you beleive it's still present in our society?

What planet do you live on? Racism is still everywhere it's just not out in the open as it was before.
I would assume that we live on the same planet. I live in Toronto, though. There are racist neighborhoods here (although the boys at Jane and Finch will shoot and rob you no matter what colour your skin is), but there are many neighborhoods where racism is truly a thing of the past. There are a lot of mixed marriages, and very mixed groups of friends all over the place.

Sure, there are some people who are secretly racist here, but they don't really worry me. They rarely form groups, and pretty much never act based on their hate.

If you do something like switch your seat to get further from a black guy on a bus, you would get pretty much 100% disapproving stares.
