The thing is racism among the younger generations is often more subtle than our more blatant elders, although people will be blatant when they feel comfortable to be.
Don't forget this goes way back, even US born citizens who happened to have Mexican ancestry were deported during the Great Depression to save jobs for "real" Americans.
