Overt rascism has largely been driven underground. Not many people will admit publicly to being a rascist even though they may think so privately.

True, but why that might explain lack of specific direct evidence for racism, it doesn't amount to evidence or racism.

Most people know Hawaii is in the United States. Most people were not born before Hawaii became a state. Why would anyone think Obama is not an American?

Its not an issue of thinking Hawaii isn't part of the US. They think that he wasn't born in the Hawaii (or anywhere else in the US). I personally see no evidence for that idea. Even if you believe all their claims about his birth certificate (and discount any documentation from Hawaii on this issue), it would still amount to lack of evidence, not evidence that he wasn't born in Hawaii and not born in the US.

I see a lot of points raised against the idea that there is proof that he was born in Hawaii, but I see no evidence at all, or even serious claims of evidence, that he wasn't.

Also even if he was not born in the US his "natural born citizen" claim would be ambiguous not certainly false.
