Oh no my friend: racism is not only alive and well in the 21st century, it's ****ing thriving, and getting stronger every year.

I agree with Vowels tbh. Maybe it's an age thing (no disrespect intended) and not growing up among other ethnic groups but definitely where I live if you're to come across racism it will be from someone over a certain age. I've seen it from friend's parents a few times. Only ever seen it once from someone my age, which was quite bad and still feel ashamed I didn't do anything.
That's racism from white people though, of course racism doesn't count when the perpetrator is non white but if it did, I've seen more of that. Wasn't that long ago we had those race riots.
