It's naive to believe that racism, sexism, bigotry, etc.. will ever go completely away, but I also think that the "typical" person has common sense mixed with compassion and believe it's not as prevelant in our country as it was in years gone by - but I'm farily confident there continues to be isolated incidents. Also, reality of a situation vs. perception may also be to blame in some cases. Todd, I get your gist, and while the article deals with the probability of the norm, there are always exceptions.

I suppose they say that White people have less oxytocin than non-Whites, that Catholics lagged behind Protestants in generations past, etc. It still begs the question why business leadership doesn't reward those who contribute to the good of the company, and why it grossly overcompensates those at the top in a form of celebrity-ism.
