They got it wrong

Racial prejudice in America is more widespread now than when President Barack Obama became the country's first black president in a historic 2008 vote, a new survey has shown.

So says an article in the Guardian. But this isn't true. America is exactly as prejudiced as it always was. What has changed is that people are now stupid enough to openly and proudly state that they're racists. You can blame Fox News, the Republicans and plaque in the brain for this. But nothing has changed.
