More out in the open, perhaps. Racists are becoming more outspoken then they have been in decades. But it hasn't gotten any worse. I think in the main stream, things may have improved ever so slightly.<br /><br />But the fact that minority groups are still viewed on both sides as "black Americans", "Asian Americans", "Latino" or "Hispanic Americans", "gay" or "lesbian Americans" rather than simply as "Americans" proves there is definitely still a problem.<br /><br />And that problem stems directly from the "us vs. them" mentality so many Americans exhibit. If muslim terrorists are religious extremists, let's coin a term and call these types "tribal extremists".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
