America is one of the least racist countries and I've lived in dozens. Still every one everywhere is a bit racist.
Without a doubt.

The number of people who are racist who don't think they are has skyrocketed.
This made me LOL.

Things are way better now. The only thing constant is change. My mother used to say ''nothing is ever as good, or bad, as it seems at the time.'' We would all be better off if we tried harder to concentrate on the things we have in common. "Treat people the way you'd like to be treated".

Great post.. it really speaks to me despite being agnostic.
I've lived up and down the west coast and have my opinions, but am curious as to your thoughts?
There are definitely more racists then, for example, in Canada or UK.
It used to be you didn't hear much from them - obviously - because they had no way of "getting out". Now that liberals and non-racists have created the inter web and the tools to express yourself, they can't help but spread their mess.

I don't think it is working tho.
I should have stated in this country.
LOL I can hear it now.. liberals created the internet to take out the right. Now they're using science to take our money.
It's never gone away, but the Trump era has made it socially acceptable to be openly racist again. More or less since the end of the civil rights era, racism has been frowned on in our culture. Now, it's become a virtue.
More racists in America than other countries or more racists now than in the past?
I'm not sure which of these questions you're asking because there's too little context in the OP's questions but I can answer the second question with an example:
Whenever I see a news story that allows public comment, especially if it's reposted onto Facebook where people are using their real names and photos. Assuming the people commenting really match their real name profiles, just like being curious about a train wreck, I've occasionally clicked on their profile to see who is saying nasty, ignorant racist stuff (and not borderline offensive comments where someone with a thin skin may get upset- these are outright nasty racist comments that would be against the terms of service to repeat here).
I've noticed that most of the extreme racist comments are coming from people who really don't have much going on in their lives from an educational, gainful employment, entrepreneurial, or overall "I'm contributing to society" standpoint. They're very likely sitting at home, on the dole, maybe drunk or on drugs, and bitter with too much time on their hands.

Anti white racism is tolerated onnsocial media and some degree tv, so youre probably just noticing it more. And with the lefts badgering of "white males", you bet, They've been enabled.
Which in Current Year parlance, can be literally anything.
