Both of you have valid points.
I still think the "black folks will work for less" argument isn't going to fly, though, especially in 2010. Also, I don't think that a lot of non-whites* are going to put up with a racist employer (subtle or not). Maybe I'm headstrong about it because "my circle" wouldn't, but even when I've come in contact with folks that aren't in my circle and who are in lower-paying jobs, the sentiment has been the same**.
*I can see it with day-laborers, etc though.
**I also realize that my folks represent a small cross section. I'm just speaking based on experience.
