All I can say is that I hope you're right.

To go off of what you and pj were saying, the visual aspect, alone, just seems like the perfect fuel for the fire. It is too easily interpreted by the impressionable - and too easily projected by the ignorant - as the quintessential battle: White vs. Black, Light vs. Dark, Good vs. Evil, etc. etc. The concept of highlighting our 'differences' is just too easily tangible, and I just find it hard to see that completely dying out. I'm an optimist about most things, but that is just one thing that I have a negative outlook on. I hope to be proven wrong, even if not in my lifetime.
