> Oh, I don't think this is the case - at least, not outside the borders of the USA, anyway. Things were far, far more racist in Europe prior to WW2 - which is not to say that racism has been eradicated, just that it was tempered by the need to acknowledge its ultimate product

The UK is far less racist than it was in the 1980s, and I think the rest of western Europe seems to be generally similar.

That said, while the vast majority are not racist, the racists seem to have got more extreme - I think social media is at least part of the problem there.
