Racial groups are part of contemporary America and interact within it, not outside and apart from it. That said, in general, members of different racial groups are more often working, eating, shopping and even living together than they were in the 20th Century. This means increased interaction which leads to greater overall acceptance, although contemporary America still has problems with race relations there has also been much progress.
