Segregation persists by shifting from formal law to informal culture and virtual space.

Evidence

The elasticity of race – its mutability, adaptability, and motility – enables the continued insinuation of racial meanings, arrangements, and orderings into metamorphosed social circumstances. This racial marking has continued as race, under neoliberalizing pressures, has become less explicit, less visible, less obviously a mark of formal state formation. “Invisible man” has deepened into invisible racial arrangements of social conditions. In short, race is now circulated more readily and openly in private spheres than in formal public ones. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 1845 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
