That was not surprising since I read about it during the 70's.
Another 20 years America will be completely accepting of interracial marriage as the "old guard" of racist people who lived in 50s die out and the people who where born in the 2000s who never experience Jim Crow come of age.
Oh there will still be pockets of racist groups of people but every generation it get better.

To the young persons I think racism will still exist because of certain stupid acts by some young whites.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but racism is a form of prejudice. Prejudice is a characteristic that ALL human beings have. It is a character trait that humans will carry with them forever.
You can't stamp out racism anymore than you can stamp out being prejudice, they are one in the same.
