I don’t think so. I think the The 90s was the period in America that it was least acceptable to be openly racist. A lot of people blame Trump for making it acceptable to be openly racist and he definitely had an effect but I think that the blatant Islamophobia of the US government after 9/11 is what really broke the dam of prejudice and it’s just been spewing ever since.

Maybe I had a wildy abnormal childhood.
I said lots of things I didn't mean. Make a list of the most offensive sentences you can string together, and I said them. Many of my peers, not even friends said them. Kids say all sorts of things, and a lot of the times they may know it's bad, but don't have the life experience or context to understand why what they're saying is bad.
Not the best analogy, but when I was a kid I drove a car down 101 at 110 mph. Would I do that today? No.
Kids do any say things they don't really mean.

Honestly I think it comes from home. I moved my family out of the Bedford area after personally witnessing multiple incidents of middle school kids having racist and anti-Semitic conversations like it was nothing. Kids don't just say that stuff out of nowhere. And I'm not exactly a man about town. If I was seeing it that much when I only left my house like twice a week, you know, it's gotta be pervasive.
That was just ahead of 2016, can't imagine it's gotten any better.

I think a lot of it is two things:
-
Hearing it from home, obviously. Some parents will say things at home that they won't say in public, and kids don't learn that unspoken lesson of not saying those things. It's the classic Northern-style racism.
-
A lot of it is from online. You see a lot of casual racism online, and you also see a lot of POC online making the same jokes about themselves, and I'm not sure kids understand the whole "It's ok when they say it about themselves as a joke, it's not ok when you say it" thing.

Traditionally a white state that has a lot of pocs moving in in the last decade. A lot of very systemic deep rooted racism amongst the whites. It may not be cool to say it out loud but a lot of people are saying things at home and that's where it's coming from in the kids.
It's racism at home.

How do you know the parents have not already spoken to them? Kids usually don't listen any ways. Kids say the most filthiest of words, no one outside the parents want to discipline kids any more. Schools don't do it, activities don't do it, any close adult who would used to correct a child's bad behavior don't do it.
So what this really comes downs to, is that kids now roam free from consequences, free from being corrected when needed. This includes not just racial slurs, but any words that they once were not allowed to say.
Society is crumbling

Former Nazi extremist here
My parents were both Democrat voting liberals. I was raised in Massachusetts in one of the most liberal districts, one of the first in the country to teach critical race theory
My extremism started as a result of combing several pieces of information together without a valid counter argument. I looked at FBI crime rates by race, thought to myself “why do blacks commit more crimes per capita than whites” and it was all downhill from there.
Once you start looking for extremist communities it’s not hard to find them. You feel included in it like it’s a secret society, like you’re fundamentally alike. Like two humans in a wild jungle.

throwawayieee t1_ir0wbag wrote
There’s definitely a strawman at play. There are numerous organizations that have made “white supremacy” videos, the most famous one being the woman who said “What exactly are white people better than black people at? Conquering!”
White supremacists treat the entire left wing as if they believe in that, when in reality they don’t.
Even in the Black Lives Matter thing, there’s a range, kind of like antifa. On one end you have the white teenage girls putting BLM in their Instagram bio, and on the other end you have the people burning down cities. In reality a vast majority of people who support BLM fall in between. Again, an example of scapegoating/strawman

It's nothing like when I was a kid in the 90s. Bullying in general seems way less pervasive today.
But overall I'd agree racism is increasing. You just had the VP suggesting flood monies should be targeted to communities of color and such. It's blatant racism. Then it gives an excuse to non colored folks to claim they're victims and promote more racism. Racism begets racism. And there is no "good" racism.

It is not racist to suggest that help be dispersed to the people who need it most first. Communities of color were impacted more heavily by the floods, so yes those communities should be helped first.

Now if you said that it was political pandering I'd be on board. It's gross the way dems pander for the black vote by making specific mention of every time help is headed their way, but I'm not a snowflake getting my panties in a twist because no one on the news is talking about the help "white people" will be getting. Every time any politician speaks about any group of people without mentioning their ethnicity, they are talking about "white people." Getting all pissy because someone didn't specifically mention "you" and "your" ethnicity, is racist, childish and petty. You sound like a toddler screaming "what about me?"
