We aren’t a de jure racist country anymore for the most part


But we are a de facto racist country due to the significant inequities caused by racist policies. For example, you can’t pass a law anymore that says “this school is for black people”. However, you can pass laws that result in black people with significantly less wealth, zone such that only single family homes with a 1/4 acre lot are allowed driving prices higher and higher, and draw school district boundaries around that zoning. It results in effectively the same thing and even woke people do it (myself included as I live in a neighborhood in Mclean with a school that is like 80% white and 20% Asian).
