Its not flourishing, despite what people say. There is a general consistent undercurrent of racism, in any country, where it is a cycle of the parents indoctrinating their children with their viewpoints, which leads to the children themselves doing it again to their children. Even if the parents aren't actively indoctrinating their children with these views, having children at an impressionable age hanging around parents with racist views can make the children racist too. Not always, but mostly. This closed cycle means the amount of racism tends to remain steady, or decrease pretty slowly. Its always there, in the background, it just makes itsself heard more loudly sometimes.

There isn't much you can do about it. I've said it before, you can't legistlate human opinion. You can't force people to think differently, you'll only make it worse that way. The best you can do is to protect the victims (non-christians, be they non-white or white), whilst trying to encourage (not dictate) other religions, races and communities to interact together and see each other more equally.

Only because they are 13 year old girls. Neo-nazist aren't that uncommon, but for girls it is, especially at that age.
