The main racism I've seen perpetrated by whites recently (barring the one church that made an ass of their pastor) has been instances like I mentioned yesterday, where expectations of what black students/workers are capable of are far lower than expectations for white, and allowances are made for their "lower capabilities."
That does not mean that violent racism is dead--it isn't. It's just the former victims are most often the current perpetrators. Sometimes the racism is because the victim's skin is darker than the perpetrator's; others, it's because a white person is "infringing" on territory that the perpetrator has claimed.
Like this case, where a white man dating a black woman got the snot beat out of him.
Personally, I hope the individuals involved in the assault get caught by the girlfriend after she's been drinking, and is mad about what they did. And I hope she's got a bunch of friends.
Why? Because the justice meted out by an angry woman is far more fitting than the justice meted out by our criminal justice system.
