Not OP, but I don’t think it’s accurate to say racism is “more or less eradicated” in the US. People’s experiences vary a lot by region, by urban vs rural areas, and even by neighbourhood and institution within the same city. Some places are clearly more inclusive than others, and disparities still show up in things like housing, policing, and employment within the city. So it’s hard to generalize.
