Yes, outwardly racist systems of oppression like chattel slavery, apartheid, and racial discrimination in employment have been made illegal. But the subtle and overt discrimination, marginalization, abuse, and killing of BIPOC in white-dominated communities continues even today because white supremacy continues to be the dominant paradigm under which white societies operate.
Layla F. Saad, Me and White Supremacy / Natives Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire

Over the years, Mother Dear taught me by example, that racism is a disease of the mind and that there is only one race — the human race. She taught me that race was a man-made concept. She made it clear that striving for racial equality is an expression of our humanity. She would say, “The soul has no race, no color, and no bias.” She showed me by example, how to treat and honor others as I wished to be treated: With respect, regardless of cultural or religious differences.
