Oh please...maybe when you travel to Europe or the better places in Asia. NOT when going to Haiti, Somalia, and assorted other hellholes.
Go to Africa, go to S America, Go to the nastier parts of Asia...you find you CAN'T WAIT to get back home.
The ones who are REALLY prejudiced are the inner city minorities who have never left their inner city corral. If a black is better than every white...they should get the job...when they're not...they shouldn't.
Things were also VERY different back them. The planets population has exploded with poor since then. Take a look:
World population milestones in billions
Population 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Year 1804 1927 1960 1974 1987 1999 2011
The planet had 1.5 billion people then...there's over 7 billion now, many estimate closer to 9 billion. 80% of the worlds population lives on less than $10 a day.
WE CAN'T KEEP FEEDING AN EVER EXPANDING POPULATION.
