Racism persists through everyday practice even after legal segregation ends.

Evidence

This event exemplifies everyday racism in a country in transition from formal segregation where race mixing was against the law to the new situation where racial discrimination is in violation of the law. Nevertheless racism in everyday life in what many see as the new South Africa is alive and kicking. The story also shows that racism is not only targeted against those perceived as racially or ethnically different, but it also implicates whites who transgress racial boundaries. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 1490
