Segregation (US)

Overview
Segregation is no longer enforced by law in the 🇺🇸, and in fact there are many laws designed to fight it, but in many ways it continues – although it can now more accurately be described as "failure to integrate completely" rather than any kind of active attempt to keep people separated.

It also remains a problem almost exclusively with black people, whereas any number of other ethnicalities that used to be discriminated against (Jewish, Italian, Polish, Irish...) seem to be more or less fully integrated into American society and culture.
