As a white guy I always feel really uncomfortable making statements on behalf of 'other' people but I have to disagree (kinda) with you.

Racial profiling is still an issue. Interracial couples deal with pressure from parents and in society. You still get racist ass **** in popular culture like in that Transformers movie. I hated it so I don't remember the character's names or what part of the series it was but there was some seriously racist ass **** in at least one of them.

I totally agree with you that classism is a more prominent issue but I think that's just because it can and does affect anyone of any background. But racism still exists, it's just changed shape. I think we're on the right path, though. Attitudes and the things I used as examples are heavily scrutinized but they're still there.
