Yes, yes discrimination does still exist. And you are wrong to state Caucasian people are not discriminated against. If you don’t see it you are not looking to quote someone on this response.
How about writing something positive? Something fresh instead of the constant beat of the discrimination drum. It is used so often and so inappropriately many times people forget what it actually means.
It does feel like social media has opened new fault lines, and as a non-Jew, I’m stunned by how much antisemitism now seems to coming from what once were traditional left and liberal institutions.
It is not for those of us least affected to decide whether racism is alive and well. Ask someone affected by racism. My fellow Jews can sense an antisemite among us. My black colleagues have said similarly on racists. They give off a foul vibe. Racism is in the eyes of the target.
While I totally agree racism remains, it is being used way too often. Sometimes people are just rude, and many times bad things happen to good people....regardless of color. Race doesn't always come into play.....

Regardless, I’ll stand by my opening sentence.
