Why is there still so much racism today?

[Maurice]

I think the problem is we've tried to legislate "equality" or lack of racism. Life, unfortunately doesn't work that way. Things like affirmative action in many ways promote racism by a) the perception that minorities can't succeed without special treatment due to something lacking on their part, and b) fostering resentment on those who might not have been racist BEFORE, but after not getting a job due to a less qualified minority candidate getting the position.
