From my perspective ( because I'm half black) I'd say it's still a big deal because of slavery, and the way white men treated blacks for hundreds of years.

Remember it was only in like the 60's that black people obtained equal rights as everyone else. so When looked at this way it really hasn't been long enough for it to not be a big deal still, though maybe in a few hundred years
