If history is any indicator, it will take one and a half generations of relative stability and everyone that matters will have forgotten. Probably there will be lingering, mostly misplaced bigotry (especially if there is nothing in the way of reparations) but there's too much potential in the resources (markets, raw materials, laborers, tourism, etc) here to stay sidelined for long. Look at Germany, the UK, China, Japan, Italy, or Belgium. Colonialism, screwing allies, even outright genocide is papered over as soon as the populace blinks to keep things moving.
Or there's the Bad Ending where far-right movements control more of the world and we're a successful part of the new Axis powers.
Hmm, maybe nitpicking but we haven't forgotten the atrocities, but we don't believe in hereditary sin, so yeah I'm not walking up to a Belgian and start to harass him lol. While I still do know what happened in history I'm not blaming todays people for what happened when they weren't even born. If that makes sense.
