Race is being reformed and reformulated, not disappearing, in contemporary societies.

Evidence

Race is commonly assumed in the popular imagination to be an antique notion, a vestige of premodern or at least not adequately modernized social assertions and arrangements. I have written extensively against this understanding in earlier work. But in any case, the line of argument in Chapters 1 and 2 illustrates the reformation and reformulation of contemporary racial conception. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 346 (#expands, via linked claim)
