I agree. This has changed a great deal and for the better. You can see it in TV shows, where a couple's being interracial isn't even part of the story line or commented on by anyone, unless in the same context you'd comment on a difference in height or taste in music.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
