The US hasn't changed. These issues were always here. We're forced to confront them in a very direct way now, which rips off any facades built up about being "issues free." This is the "pain" part of "no pain no gain." Hopefully, as a country we're able to grow and become better the same way we did in the 60s, the last time it seems we had an equivalent/stronger "bandaid ripping off" moment. From personal experience, I vastly prefer a country like the US where these issues are being dragged front and center and exposed than other parts of the world where these same ugly facets of humanity exist, but people pretend they don't.
