One must distinguish between the banal " racism " of ignorant , yes INSENSITIVE bad manners and a society's institutionalized racism ? The latter -unless you consider the Civil Rights Movement led by Martin Luther King in the United States a sad failure- is all but non-existent in 2019 USA.
How do you check the former " racism " ? Completely ruin and humiliate and shame most ordinary law abiding citizens perhaps brainlessly reacting to negative experience with different racial or ethnic groups ? Or perhaps just " under the influence " DRUNK ?
How does ostracizing long lists of politically incorrect individuals change their hearts and minds ?
And how many decent American citizens - identified as conservative or religious ( Catholic , Protestant ) have been falsely vilified and shamed by vicious " liberal " Democrat identity politics ?
ILLIBERAL LIBERALISM can hate just as rabidly as the reactionary Right .
