Ever see an inner-city schoolyard filled with white, Asian and black teens shooting hoops? Or middle-aged white and Latino men swigging beer and watching the Super Bowl on their black neighbor's couch? Or Asians and Latinos dancing the night away in a hip-hop club?

So if you were to watch the news, you'd think there was race war in the streets. If you were to watch commercials, you'd think Nirvana had been achieved.
