Is this biased reporting?

That would exist in any system - we still deal with an institutionalized racism in this country. Our society has continued to evolve through enlightenment era ideas and, I think, will continue to do so. Racism in one form or another will still persist, but not like it existed 30 years ago.

Of course it's changed you doorknob. It's made the worst sort of change. The quiet, festering, slow boiling seething sort of change.

Instead of signs saying whites only on the door, there are signs saying "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone." And they frequently do.

Some times, something like this is better out in the open where people can clearly see. Otherwise, people wont look for it because they don't want to see it. A lot of people are under the impression that the South has become a little better. They would be wrong.

In some ways, it has become a little more tolerable. Jim Crow laws are gone... At least officially. But the unseen stuff that goes on is the very worst sort because it slowly builds pressure till it reaches explosive mass. And when it does... Everybody stands around going "What the hell" because everybody tries to pretend they didn't see it coming.

Racism evolves. It doesn't get better. It gets worse. It finds new ways to get worse, while at the same time disguising it self better and hiding all traces of it's passing, to make fools and idiots believe that it is going away or that it no longer exists. People want it go away but nobody actually wants to work on cleaning up the system that allows it to fester.

Enlightenment era my ass. I loathe that term.
