3. I agree that's too generous

While explicit 'Nazism' and fascism, with uniforms, explicit glorification of the state as a racial entity, blaming of Jews etc. may have gone, the racist and anti-immigrant (wider than Islamophobic) attitudes are still there. I see people who are 'concerned' about "white replacement", "British whites" not being the majority at some point in the UK (even if it'll be by the time that 'non-whites' are 5th or 6th generation since immigration - their skin colour will never allow them to be truly British, as far as this attitude is concerned), and groups like the Roma (and that's often more than 'concern' - it can be open disdain or hatred). Call such an attitude 'racist', and they'll act deeply offended. But that doesn't mean it isn't.
