I've got two mixed nephews and no one says shite or blinks an eye when they're out with us. My wife made the comment about how colorblind kids are now. At Awana's one of the kids asked where another child was but couldn't remember her name. She asked her what she looked like and she said, "You know the really pretty girl with the long curly hair". No mention of skin color. That may not seem like much, but IMO it's says a lot about how things have changed.
It's a very significant thing. My wife and I get practically zero guff when out and about together. And there are so many mixed kids in our neighborhood, it's not even really a thing people notice.
America is fricking awesome. I love this country. Never been a better one in which to be a minority in the history of the planet.

My son plays soccer and his club is very diverse. My sons coach is from Africa And is a former pro player. Almost every race you could think of and even Jews and Palestinians on the same team. Kids from Japan, Ethiopia, Middle East, South & Central America, Mexico. Everyone gets along very well and we all are united around the love of sport and our kids. It is a really amazing country!

I agree that the US is the Best country for minorities.
However the frame we expect to see racism in has changed. Racism is most likely not going to come in the pre 1970s form of lynch mobs, racial slurs, mistreatment by lack of service etc.
Those are visible and therefore the easiest forms of racism to do away with. Real racism today comes in forms that are alot more subtle.
Being stopped on the street when you didn't do anything suspicious, etc.
