I think my mom still believes that, but her family is originally (meaning WAY back down the line) from the South, so there may be unconscious attitudes that accompany the belief.
I think my grandparents believe it. My mom is coming around. It's hard for her to buck the system she was taught. I call it rubbish. My kids wouldn't believe you if you told them you used to hear this stuff in church. Good example of generational differences with respect to racism in the church (and it's obviously not just an LDS church issue).
