In 2016, the president-elect of the United States openly called
for segregation and deportation based on race and religion.
Meanwhile, inequalities in education, housing, health care, and
the job market continue to prevail, while increased insecurity
and fear have led to an epidemic of scapegoating and harassment
of people of color. Yet, recent polls show that only thirty-one
percent of white people in the United States believe racism is a
major societal problem; at the same time, resistance is strong,
as highlighted by indigenous struggles for land and sovereignty
and the Movement for Black Lives.
