And, yes, racism has decreased. It is foolish to claim otherwise. The only way to claim this is not true is by expanding the notion of racism to areas of thought instead of limiting it to areas of acts. Remember, we are talking about a hispanic woman who was elected despite the fact that she appears to be an economic moron and we aren't discussing (nor is the media, much) the muslim minority woman who was also elected to congress (perhaps because the latter does NOT appear to be an economic moron). And all of this takes place in the shadow of a just completed two term run of a black president who was almost universally lauded by the nation. And the fact is that AOC has said some incredibly stupid, as in monumentally and ridiculously moronic, economic things and has refused to back down from them. It's really a compliment to her perseverance and cleverness that she managed to get so far in life while being so dumb in some key and relevant areas.
