How many generations ago was brutal, undiluted systemic racism accepted? ‘Bout 2.5. it takes a while to fix, given that segregationists instilled such strong feelings into their progeny. It’s easier to break something than to fix it, most especially when someone is actively working to obstruct the repair. It takes 2 seconds to pop a tire and 20 minutes to change.

This is reality I know, but it's unacceptable, this kind of racism needs to be punished harder, to make racists understand their behavior is unacceptable.

Sure but the people who would do the punishing are most likely also racist so it won’t happen

Oh boy, you are probably right.
