Even in this day in age, racism is alive and well. The Mayor of New York City Bill de Blasio has been receiving comments on the fact that he is "a white man married to a black women with two biracial children." Racism in America closely relates to American views on immigration. Americans not feeling comfortable with people of color already here is directly correlated with not wanting more to come over. The fact that this man's choice of wife is even a topic of concern seems petty to me.
