Do we live in a post racial society?..

I was having conversation with my brother yesterday and the subject came up during our debate about the BBCs mixed Britannia season which I said I serously didn’t get the point of, and though was a wasted opportunity.
He seemed to have enjoyed it though, but went on to say the show was a few years behind as colour doesn’t really matter anymore... I think he may have said ‘much’, in fact, I hope he did because if not I’m going to have to remind him that he’s still unemployed despite looking for a good few years, and in fact one could argue that his ‘blackness’ has had him living precariously on the fringes of society for some time now.. Anyway... I digress

When Obama came to ‘power’ (and I use the term loosely) many said this was further evidence of the fact that we live in a post racial society.
Watching debates about adoptions, it’s a subject that’s thwart with much contention, whether or not it’s important for a child to be raised with a sense of cultural / racial awareness (or at least be raised by parents who are aware of cultural and racial differences, and have the skills needs to address these issues as and when they arise.
Then you have those who claim mixed relationships are further evidence of a post racial society

Then there’s my favourite, which comes from my brother who says very factually;
“You have arseholes of every race... every nationality... and then you have some really nice people... again of every nationality creed, colour whatever.. it’s deeper than that now

Well... yes...and no...

Today, I’m going to leave with two very simplistic examples of why we do not
1. X Factor; Misha – was accused of being Overconfident, which quickly turned into... she’s a bully.

2. The Apprentice (the Boardroom) Mohammed was quickly accused of being aggressive... despite the fact that he was acting in an almost identical fashion to the other boy( James I think) who many would have seen as an assertive go-getter
(Both should have been fired in my opinion... thought the show was great by the way) but that’s not the point.

I'm not saying that anyone Black can never be aggressive, or, be a bully ( that would be silly) I'm just asking why their behaviour ( common for most) is quickly judged/viewed in this negative way

The point is that racial stereotyping e.g. (black people still being views as aggressive, overconfident bullies) still exists... and that... is not post racial
Is it?

Simplistic yes.. but why complicate things?
