Openly mocked? Definitely not.

I know someone who knows someone who ran an art gallery on the west coast. Most of the artists were black and the gallerist was a white man. At one point he made some offhanded remark that "don't worry, the white artists have an area over there..." Guess what happened to his career after?

These stories are everywhere, and are why people think things have gone too far.
