Racism is one of those hot-button terms that is ill-defined and/or misapplied.  Many people are afraid of the inner city, not because the people are Black, but because the news reports all of the crime that is there and the houses are run-down, etc....  Many people fear Muslims and darker-skinned people because the news reports Muslim terrorism.  But there are also fears of, say, trailer parks and rural, woody areas - populated by White people -
 because of the reputation of the people who live in such places.

As animals, we make judgments based on appearance and our associations of how appearance can translate into behavior.  If we do not do that, then we're being stupid.

But I think the days of judging people purely on their race are long gone in the US, notwithstanding that little show in Charlottesville, organized by a former Obama supporter.  I think we need to realize in this country that race baiting has become an industry of sorts.
