Often true, particularly where Caucasians are a majority. But it is often true where other races are the majority, and at times there is less of an attempt to accommodate other.
But this is not limited to race. It applies to nationality, and to religion, and to sexuality, and to social class, and to education....
Times change, as noted before. Increased mobility gives raise to increased political egalitarianism, which gives raise to increased meritocracy.
Once out of the village, we are all mutts. Which is actually a good thing, from an evolutionary standpoint :-) But much more importantly, it's good to remember, that we are individuals.
I believe, that generally, we are in agreement.
