My point is I think it's less excuseable to spout racist shit in 2008 than 1980 because it's less prevalent.

I’d argue it’s the other way around.

I don't really want to kick it off again as I feel the debate has moved on, but I'm really curious to understand your rational.

Same, but IME overt racism is challenged more often, or accepted less encouragingly, now than it was previously. That has led to it becoming less prevalent in media, social dialogue, laws, etc.
