The correct answer to this open question is the following
Do you perceive elements of the legacy of minstrelsy in contemporary popular culture and entertainment?
No, not really. Probably in the 1950s with shows like "Hollywood Varieties," or "Torch Song."But not really in modern times.
Although racism is still a big issue in American society, as we have witnessed by the many racial incidents at the end of 2020, minstrelsy has drastically diminished as a form of entertainment in America.
Indeed, mass media and entertainment are very careful not to include any racial lines or stories to make fun of. That would be considered blatantly racial, and that would cost the entertainment companies too much, especially in scrutiny and their reputation.
