Race Relations in Park Slope

Well, as usual I'm obsessed with Blognigger's latest post - It's all about the somewhat anticlimactic lack of everyday racial progress that has followed in the months since Obama's election.

At the end of the post, he asks a question which demands some pretty stern honesty, and which I think would be interesting to recontextualize in terms of Park Slope itself:

Walking around on a daily basis - the DMV, the subways, the Times Square jackoff booths - do you notice differences in racial behavior since the election? What kind of behavior do you wish would cease?

I know that on the surface, Park Slope is supposed to be this cestpool of understanding and tolerance; but I'm interested in knowing if this ideal matches your real-world experience.

What kind of racism have you experienced in Park Slope? What kind of ass-kissing do you secretly or subconciously engage in? Do you ever find yourself wishing that any one "race" would behave differently, you racist? Above all, have you noticed any changes since Obama's election?
