I'd say no, since racism has been going on for the entirety of human history it seems. It's as if there's always been some need for a scapegoat.

Racism against Africans and Jews has been going on forever, and is still going on, and with a slight reduction in racism against Africans and Jews being made up for by an increase in racism against Arabs and Muslims, then it just seems like that the cycle of racism will continue forever.

As long as there's people, there will be hatred. And it's channelled in a lot of different ways. You can reduce it, sure, but you can never eliminate it.

As long as there are ANY differences between people there will be hatred.

Yeah, I bet you if everyone except for say... white British people of English descent were eradicated, they'd just arbitrarily assign different races to eachother based on political beliefs and then use that to launch racist attacks.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.

Pretty much this. If they're different to them, they are wary. The next logical step is irrational fear, then hatred of them because of the difference.

We might get to a stage where public acts of racism are unheard of because of the majority's disapproval of it, keeping it only to their minds.

It's ridiculous that we're built that way, right? An old self-defence mechanism that no longer has purpose and now is just a hindrance to society as a whole.

Not while those filthy americans still draw breath.

I doubt it though, idiots will always be scared out outsiders. In terms of discrimination and the like, a fairer society with more recourse against the people who do that kind of shit seems to be heading this way.

As long as people are different from each other, probably not.  Fear/dislike of those different is a natural human quality.

No, but we can still do what we can to fight it. I don't think we've come as far as we can get yet.

It can, but it will be difficult. Especially when those overreact to situations and cause this crap.

The only time there will be no racism is if the superior race (aka white people) get rid of the sub-human minority scum.

There will always some kind of hatred between humans, since we are beings capable of great goodness and evil, and unfortunately evil seems to be a constant throughout history and I don't see it going away. Good needs evil and vice versa I guess.

Nope. Even if you mushed everybody into a singular "race" they'd still find things to dislike or hate amongst one another. No getting away from it.
