Although the Civil Rights Act outlawed overt discrimination, institutional racism endures because ostensibly neutral policies and routine practices—in housing and lending, school funding, policing and sentencing, employment screening, and voting rules—systematically produce racially disparate outcomes. Persistent enforcement gaps, implicit bias, and legal and administrative hurdles to proving or remedying discrimination, combined with the legacy of past segregation and disinvestment, allow these structural inequalities to continue despite formal legal equality.
