text: Well, Yes. Of course there is still some racism by Whites (and ALL Racial groups)-
  but nothing like the past. In your (Daimler Portland) example, I wonder if any of those white workers were American whites? 
  
  It IS a strange development to have increased (apparent) racism towards a man who has been with the company for 22 years. Unless these Are American whites, and groups such as "Black Lives Matter" and shootings of  Police Officers have created a backlash situation were more Whites are developing a negative view of Blacks?
