Is it that people have grown somewhat intolerant to diversity nowadays, despite we're fighting for the rights of all and of all differences

I experienced a lot of intolerance and bigotry in my childhood and the early part of my career. There is more awareness in society of the benefits of diversity and the costs of prejudice and social injustice. Unfortunately there is a very loud man in charge of the USA right now who finds it politically expedient to exploit racism, sexism, religious hatred and xenophobia which were lying just below the surface. It is hopefully just a passing phase, but one we could all do without.
