I wouldn't say in this day and age. We have been educating people for a long time on this issue but some people just don't want to know and would prefer to ignore schooling. Martin Luther King got the ball rolling many decades ago (1929-1968 RIP). There are 'baddies' on both sides but I always felt that the Black Panthers were redressing the imbalance whereas the KKK were rubbing white supremacy in their faces. I'm white btw. I'd be classed as a WASP but I don't like labels and don't see myself as Protestant. I was only sent to church when I was younger.

Still, we have these programs like Star Trek:TNG where humanity has overcome its deficiencies and prejudices and moved towards the collective benefit of mankind. If we work together on pooling our knowledge on the humanities, who cares what colour we are? We will have made our mark
