I suspect you'll find that institutionalized racism and bigotry are alive and well. I'm sure you are aware of some of the recent laws passed in New Mexico, for instance.
Well, what I was saying is that there is no such thing as a racial utopia. Name me one country that is as diverse as the United States, with it's history of slavery and institutionalized oppression, and has somehow figured out how to keep all the ethnicities in perfect harmony.

It's impossible. Racism just seems to be. My point is that the character of the American people is liberal enough that there always the hope among the majority of Americans that these problems can be overcome.
