This is a common exaggeration. It's like having $5 in the bank, depositing $2, and then running around preaching about how better off you are now because God has given you a lot of $$$$$. "More inclusiveness" is a relative measure that is based on perception of where we've come from. If your point of reference is a society where there are separate drinking fountains or there are damn near zero minorities professors at most universities then, sure, you'll WOW at how inclusive society is now.
This is still an extremely racially segregated society. Americans' routine activities are still conducive to things like low interracial marriage; low interracial violence; and predominantly (insert race and ethnicity) schools, religious institutions, and neighborhoods. All of these are among the proxies in research that measure the level of racial and ethnic integration in societies.
So, all of that extends to how culturally inclusive America is now. I hear 14 year olds talking about how they have friends of various races AT SCHOOL but most of these kids aren't friends when they go home. I also hear these very same kids talk about how they have to "act different" when they around people of different races for a number of reasons. Same shit, different toilet.
