Overt discrimination isn't used anymore, and to use that ideology that reinforced the social structure before the civil rights movement as a basis for current racial acceptance in the direct face of everything that I have shown you is something I have already said that you do without any evidence.

And again, I ask you to tell me how an improvement over one facet of racism over time says anything about the total impact of racism currently.
An improvement in one part of a problem lessens the overall impact of a problem. Otherwise it wouldn't be an improvement, would it? If you can only see progress in all-or-nothing terms, then good luck Sisyphus.

I can't recall making any naturalistic arguments, assuming cultural uniformity or inferiority, nor have I attempted to relegate anyone to a lower social standing.
