Edit for context:

My view is transracial isn’t valid and this person is trying to dogwhistle. I’ve already blocked this person, and now they’re going after my friend saying my friend is transphobic because they disagreed with them about transracial being a thing (they’re purposefully leaving the context out so my friend looks transphobic when what my friend really said was transgender is valid but transracial isn’t)

      Do you mean there is slavery and segregation still going on on the us?

      This wasn’t really the point I was making, but yes actually. Regardless of how you try to restrict your definitions in a pre-emptive act of goalpost-moving, slavery still exists in the US under the thirteenth amendment as a form of punishment, and our prisons are full of them.

      And yes, segregated schools (and even things like “segregated proms” within supposedly-integrated schools) still exist.

      The study found that minority students became more isolated and less exposed to whites within a school although districts were statistically more integrated.[44] Another 2013 study found that segregation measures increased over the previous 25 years due to changing demographics.[29] The study did not find an increase in racial balance. Racial unequality remained stable.

      […]

      A 2013 study corroborated these findings, showing that the relationship between residential and school segregation became stronger between 2000 and 2010. In 2000, segregation of black people in schools was lower than in their neighborhoods; by 2010, the two patterns of segregation were “nearly identical”.[46]

      And even still, they’re openly moving to bring it back more widely: https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/02/us/louisiana-justice-department-desegregation-order

      That said, what I was referring to was the lingering effects that are very real, even if they are not immediately evident to an outside viewer. I could tell you’re not from here, because if you were, you’d understand what I’m talking about. Just because the letter of the law says something, does not mean anything about what things are actually like in practice. 400 years of chattel slavery, Jim Crow, etc. doesn’t just vanish overnight. Especially when not a single fucking thing is done to try to rectify or repair it.
