In what year was racism stopped?

Answer 1

Throughout history, 'racism' itself has never been nor could it be banned.

However, in the United States, for example, there have been many laws, court decisions, and Constitutional amendments to bar arbitrary discrimination, which means to give preference to certain groups in decisions for reasons such as ethnicity, culture, language, disability, sexuality, gender, weight (in Michigan and Massachusetts), and age. Legally, racism, as it is commonly understood as by 'colour', was outlawed in the United States by the 14th Amendment in 1868, which created the Equal Protection clause, providing 'all' Americans the same rights and freedoms whether white, black, yellow, brown, male or female.

This has been tested several times, one which is known as 'affirmative action'.

Affirmative Action which was started on March 6 ,1961 by executive order 10925, but wasn't enforced until Sept 24, 1965 by executive order 11246. The Order was to take federal money and use it to advertise open positions in low income and minority areas to allow equal chance to the job position.

What it is not is a law to hire a person due to there colour or ethnicity, which it was twisted into in the 1980's and '90's. This in its self was racism. So as you can see racism cannot be ended, what it can be is dealt with and watched for closely as to not let it rise up again.
