What are present-day race relations in the United States?

Obviously everyone has their own perception of racism, what it constitutes, what is acceptable behavior. Rural areas and states in the South have been stereotyped as having more racist ideologies amongst their populations. Attitudes towards other races, including intermarriage and interracial children are much more open minded than they were even fifty years ago.

Along with acceptance and tolerance, there is the downside of slightly growing numbers of interracial crime--although the vast majority of crimes are still interracial Another stereotype is the solely black/white element of racism. There is no denying the poor treatment of blacks, Indians, and other races over the course of U.S. Both socially and through enacted laws, but the elements of racism amongst minorities (including racism towards darker or lighter skinned members of their own race, or members of their own race from other nations or cultures) has been overlooked at times The Rodney King beating and subsequent riots in L.A.After the trial, the O. J Simpson trial, the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and the debate over illegal aliens are examples of issues of that affected racial relations.

Classism was also tied in with many of these occurrences--the idea that a person who was wealthier or more socially prominent received better treatment or better "justice" than a a middle class or poor person of the same race. Statistics on perceptions or racism and racial relations can be found online.
