I do think that if you look at generations, it would be more likely that an older generation would have a higher percentage of individuals who hold racist or prejudiced beliefs, which has a lot to do with the society they grew up in, when compared to a younger generation.

Please re-read your two statements above. They contradict the hell out of each other. Why would it be more likely that older generations would have racist tendencies when you also state that some older members of that generation who maybe do have those beliefs, or racial tendencies, aren't typical of that age group anyway. Doesn't make a whole lotta sense to me.
Stereotyping, Nu1. Bottom line.
