I was wondering this today when I was having lunch with my fiance's mom. There was an older couple sitting across from me. A pregnant black lady walked by

No because younger people are just as prejudiced but against white people so no one cares.

I don't think they're more prejudiced. They're just less likely to keep it to themselves.
