Sarcsam aside, personally, I think the fact that our law reflects our prejudices is more racist than the actual means that we use to enforce them, which is a pretty high bar to clear.

Because it’s illegal, duh. Once you enshrine your prejudices in law, they’re no longer racism, they’re just moral purity.

I mean, I’m sure you can name a half dozen or so people from the 1400s. I highly doubt anyone will remember me personally as one of those half dozen people, but I’m fairly certain that with the advances in technology the average people of the year 2625 will be dimly aware of closer to a dozen people alive today.
