And there's different forms of racism created nowadays. The old school racism of older generations saying 'bloody foreigners...' g*llywog doll collectors or BNP vitriol is no longer the dominant model.

We have racism on dating sites, gay people have said their sites are the worst 'no chinese, no blacks, no hispanics' (see Douchebag of Grindr NSFW)

Then there are hipster racism (see http://jezebel.com/5905291/a-complet...hipster-racism and http://www.beinglatino.us/politics-2...the-new-trend/ and http://www.racialicious.com/2012/05/...ipster-racism/ ) which is an ironic racism by white highly educated middle class people (as opposed to the stereotype skin head racist). A good example is when Prince Harry introduced his friend as 'My P*ki friend'

Then there are what I call the racist deniers. Whenever you question racism they simply say 'oh stop playing the racist card' to deliberately dampen any debate or investigation which may lead to exposure of their own possible racism.
