I too had wanted to embrace the idea of a race-indifferent society. But given that our country actually had enough seething racism that people voted for a political agenda of severely harming themselves as long as "those people" would get hurt more, I'd say that the media's traditional policy of trying to mitigate those animalistic urges has now been vindicated as being quite noble.

Yep. I also attribute it to getting older and more conservative. (actually conservative, not this revanchist destructionism cloaking itself in the label "conservative").
