Enid:

    That comment from Seymour about people today still hating but hiding it better really holds a lot of truth. The discussion is based around a racist image and slogan from back in the 1920s, which as discussed would never be acceptable to publicly advertise in modern times. Enid repeats her thoughts on her and Seymour's discussion saying "how racism was once more out in the open" while displaying the racist image at an art show. It's also interesting how the other observers at the art show cannot accept the image, and it a modern attitude of denial. It shows how people today don't just hide their hatred better, but are also publicly in total denial about it.
