Of course it is but I do think a lot of people are oblivious to it. If you don't experience something you don't really know what its like. Facing prejudice, discrimination, racism, etc can be very subtle. Most people are not outright racist for the world to see. A person on the outside looking in is not gonna feel and experience what the person having that hate directed at them will. A lot of people just don't want admit its an issue or get all bent out of a shape if its even brought up. I've worked with plenty of people were very racists over the years.
My mom was recently in the hospital for a couple weeks where she shared a room with 4 other people and she told me certain nurses treated a native woman that was sharing the room with her differently than everyone else. It bothered her to the point that she complained. Obviously she took notice but did anyone else in the room or any of the other people working there or visiting notice? It's kind of difficult to judge whether racism was an issue with Kane when you wern't even there. And even if you were there would you recognize it? I'm not speaking about you specifically just in general. It can sometimes be difficult to catch certain things that are not familiar to you.
