Does the American Dream still exist ?

This is a question wholly contingent upon your definition of the "American Dream." If you are talking about the basics like having a well paying job, good education, and normal standards of basic living and needs then yes- I think everyone regardless of race, , age, what have you, have the opportunity to make this come true. I think the disparity here generates from a misconception of the american dream. The opportunity is greater here than anywhere in the world to really make something of yourself. Regardless of your background, if you have enough general intelligence and will power, then you can receive a solid education, well paying job, etc, if you put the effort forth. Lazy people will rarely accomplish anything worth while, they can complain all they want, they just make it easier for those of us who actually try to push farther ahead toward our goals and dreams.
