This is very interesting and I like to hear it. I didn't know the USA got more bigoted
Might be they just didn't see it because they were a kid.
I grew up with casual racism from my dad and grandfather.
My family was always multi racial but you would also hear hard Rs at family get togethers.
Depends on the part of the country too I'm sure.
Well, idk if I would say "more". The median has gotten less bigoted (people care a little more when you say certain slurs), but I also think that the more conservative people have gotten significantly more bigoted.
It was always bigoted. they were lynching black men until 1981.
Yeah most people tend to srgue thst the usa has been in a continous racism decay, being max racist upon its conception as a country (1600s). I'm still interested in OP's opinion from their frame of reference - sort of suggests the truth is more nuanced and might be tied to prosperity of the country
