The more I read recent news, the more I face a simple fact: almost every event, especially if it’s has something to do with social problems, is covered and discussed in the context of race. So many racial comments! So many explanations of different problems via racial reasons! Even government officials (you know who I am talking about) use race as a trigger, leverage or whatever to get certain result.
Isn’t it disgusting? We have spent so much time and effort to create a just society where everyone is equal – and what? Why are we still as racist as we used to be a century ago, with only difference - we pretend not to be?

The ruling elite keeps the proletariat pitted against each itself through various forms of bigotry, particularly racism and xenophobia.

^ Basically this.  Humans tend to naturally divide themselves up into little groups, at least somewhat, but 90% of it in the modern age is what Snow said.
