In a post-9/11 world, has america progressed in its inclusiveness? why or why not?

This question is subjective. It really just depends on how you feel about it. Was 911 a defining moment in America history? Some might say yes and others might say no. If you are a discriminated and disenfranchised African American you might not feel this country is very inclusive. If you are a privileged white male you might feel the opposite. If you are women who suffers from workplace sexual harassment and objectification, you might not feel this country is very inclusive. If you are an Evangelical Christian you might feel America is too inclusive. If you're gay or lesbian you might not feel this society is very inclusive. The question is more about eliciting your feelings and how you reason about the world than some objective answer.
