Answer 2

Black people are doing better than ever, but now the racism has shifted to Mexicans and Middle-East/India area people.

The hate towards Mexicans stems from their huge immigration numbers to the USA. Since most of them are willing to take jobs at significantly lower pay just to stay in America, places like Wal-Mart offer those kinds of jobs to save money by paying the employees less. Some Americans say that "the Mexicans are stealing our jobs!", but really they should blame Wal-Mart, because is Wal-MArt would stop offering low-wage jobs to immigrants then Americans would take those jobs too, and they'd have no reason to whine.

The hatred towards Arabs/Indians obviously began with 9/11 attacks, and the subsequent war in that area. There's not much more that can be said about it.
