Really racism is insignificant on the individual level.
institutional racism, sexism, and homophobia is what created issues, and it's been eradicated, for the most part, in the US.
I find that people nowadays very rarely rationalize their actions and behaviors based upon their most superficial racial attributes, though it may appear so outwardly and even in their own mind.
For example, the last presidential election.
One day these isms should probably be classified as mental illnesses.
Though, as one person noted before, depending upon the situation, they are still useful political means.
