Its ironic but as an outsider, visiting twice i felt like i immediately knew what was wrong in the US, hardcore racism hasnt gone away, its just less in your face now.
For example, people will go into forums to let go what they really think instead of going spitting on black protesters like in the 50s and 60s
But the end result being i visited NYC thinking things would have been changed in 2010 (sort of like Montreal where you can have sort of ethnic neighboorhoods but everybodys mingled) to find a city still heavily segregated. And i though if that is the heart of progressive america, i can imagine what its like elsewhere and it doesnt look pretty
