How do you measure racism? It's a very important question.

"Let's stop racism!" is obviously a goal everyone should aspire to (and already does), but nobody can ever seem to articulate what that means or how it could possibly be measured. Do you envision some ideal scenario where somebody declares "okay, racism is now over!"? Who would that person be, and how would they know?

Desegregation. Desegregation measurably reduces racist attitudes and feelings of racial discomfort in general. This has been known for more than a century. And, not just racial but also religious or ethnic animus.

In some scenarios desegregation is an effectively impossible task. Segregation is built into urban areas. How does one undo that? There are other limits to this solution set as well. How can Mormons ever truly live among us? No one knows.


So you just asked, how do you measure it and how to you fix it. Segregation/desegregation is a long-proven indicator of likelihood/unlikelihood of racial/ethnic/etc. problems. Macro and macro scale.


We good?
