I think each generation becomes naturally less racist, but it never goes away. What we hear from our elders will effect us-the youth. What we hear in the media will effect us. We can as stubborn as we want and claim to be completely free of racism, but I think each generation only gets diluted. Today, you can find older people making racial slurs possibly more often than you do young adults. For younger people, racism tends to be a joke almost. Using old racial slurs have actually become apart of teen vocabulary with their friends. I agree that people aren’t racist on purpose.

I am sure that there are many people do say it to harm and hurt other people. But if we relate it to Huck Finn and our understanding of why they use the n-bomb so muc, your theory makes sense. i like your post and i agree with you that most people do say racist comments unconsiously, however i dont think that every single comment is like this.
