The age-old question: When will racism end? Some say it will die out with the people who grew up with a legally segregated America; others say that diversity will have the biggest effect. What if they're both right?
Skip to 1:20 for the interview with a demographic researcher who explores what a changing America means for racism. (Feel free to take off at the 10:00 mark when the interview ends.)
So what does it all mean? Diversity is the key to reducing racism. Our kids have it built in, but there's no reason we can't give it a jump-start by increasing diversity in our boardrooms, governments, and media.
