Removing official state support forced prejudice itself to change form.

Evidence

Much changed in the next decade and a half. Developments in post- Allport social psychology must be understood in that context. The civil rights movement increasingly acted directly against that racial caste system. Pivotal court decisions, such as Brown v. Board of Education, and sweeping federal legislation, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the Fair Housing Act of 1967, as well as many other lower-profile executive and judicial actions at the federal level and legislative actions at the state and local levels, ultimately eliminated official support for the two-caste system. As profound as these changes were, they did not eliminate all discrimination or de facto segregation. But losing the active support of the political and legal systems ultimately forced changes in the nature of prejudice. — , Rudman, Laurie A - On the Nature of…, 2165
