I don't think it's nearly as bad as those who make a leaving ensuring it's kept on the front page would have you believe.
The hatemongers NEED someone else to blame for their own failures. So long as they exist, and can't admit their failures are their own fault, racism will exist. So will gender bias. So will political hatreds. Especially nowadays, people just refuse to accept the fact that hey, it might JUST be me.
