But I don't think this CAN change overnight, and attempts to instantly eradicate various forms of ass-hatedness are doomed to failure. Which does not mean that trying to change things are pointless - but expecting quick results means you'll be disappointed.
And the change has to come from both sides- victims AND victimizers.
Earlier this year, an elderly American politician who is black mentioned that he still crosses the street when he sees white women approaching him. He's not anti-white, he is just still living in the days of his youth when he could get beaten or arrested if he didn't do that.
And I was just at a conferences where one of my fellow attendees talked about how he didn't see any difference in the race relations in the USA of his youth (the 1960s) and today. Certainly, there is still need for improvement, but NO change? My personal experience tells me otherwise. I have experienced racism, but my experiences are the decaf version of what my own family talks about.
But until that politician and my colleague pass away, they will be stuck in their own perceptual prisons.
