With the race card being played trump so often is racism still alive and well?

I know that sometimes it seems that minorities are over sensitive or are sensing something that is pure imagination and the stigma of the past. Racism may not be a prevalent or as out in the open as it used to be 50 or 100 years ago, but it is still practiced and people are still raising their children to be segregationistic. I often find racism rearing it's ugly head when I am communicating with people online who have no idea what I look like, then I send them a picture or direct them to one of my web pages and bam! all of the sudden they start acting differently. And I am not talking about idle aquaintances either. I have had it happen with my financial aid councelor at the online college that I attend. I have had racism touch my life in realtime too. I once had to quit a job because two idiots had carved racial epithets into the arm of my chair when I was out sick one day. The boss wouldn't fire or repremand the two employees who did it, though everyone knew they did it. That was a decision that cost the boss $10,000 in addition to one of his best telemarketers. Those who are not racist and are truly open minded in terms of racial stereotypes sometimes get the idea that we minorities, all of us, are oversensitive and that we are feinting at shadows that are no longer there. I would say that those people are wrong. If you want proof look at the current American Presidential campaign and how the race card is being played as a trump on both sides of the contest. Do you believe that racism in America and worldwide is alive and well or that we minorities are all just being too sensitive.
