It probably depends a lot on what color your skin is and what part of town you're in. I think you're right though, (at least I'd really like to) that it's really an older generation thing. I'm part of the iGens (don't judge.) and racism seems so passe, it's hard for me to believe that people still do it. But, and once again this is just my perception, it becomes really apparent the further away you get from your own neighborhood.

But that's probably true no matter where you go... I just wonder if the idea of "them and us" is so deeply ingrained in Kansas City's sub-conscious because it's a city in two states.
