Something to toss out here----why does it seem racism is worse than sexism?

Advertisements [?]

From all the Obama and Clinton dust up, something has hit me and it seems in American society, sexism takes a back seat to racism. Now, I'm not suggesting one is worse than the other, only that it seems misogyny doesn't get the attention that racism does.

Look at our popular media culture, from slasher flicks to what is going on now, women seem to be taking a back seat instead of an equal seat.
