While there is no doubt the problem is still pervasive, consider how far as a society we have come in the past 50 years, the past 150 years, etc. There's definitely improvement.

Enlightenment, exactly as you are putting it, is an extremely slow process when magnified to cover a large number of people.

I have no doubt that a few generations from now, people will look back at our society as it is today and think of what kind of savages we must have been for the way we treat homosexuals, immigrants, and others who our society has deemed a peg below others for whatever ignorant reasons.
