Children grow up as sponges - they learn and behave as their parents raise them. To blame children/teens for being 'thick' in this generation is hypocritical. The younger generations are simply a mirror image of how the older generation raised them. For example, when born, humans do not know what racism is. Put a white and black baby in a room, and they'll laugh and giggle with each other (unless they're tired or hungry... then youll have some crying babies). Its only through the teaching of the parents and the influence of them on their surroundings as they grow up and become more mature that then makes a person become racist.
