It is always there. I think it is MUCH less than when I was growing up. But it isn't gone, and likely never will be. At least not completely.

Yes, I agree. Though I was an Army brat, and when I lived on base, none was apparent as a kid. My family traveled in the south and I remember colored entrances to drive in theaters, etc. In my early teens we lived off base at times and I heard n!**er a bit and the exp0ression "n1**er in a woodpile" many times. As a young man people would get irate if I asked them not to tell me n!**er jokes down south. I wasn't aware at all in my 20s that we were sterilizing Indian women. I never heard of Tulsa till recently.
Then I found one friend talking about the Bell Curve - people liked having a pseudo scientific cover for their bigotry.
We've only been back in the USA for 15 months, but my wife has been treated fine - so far. :)
