I think they've certainly diminished racism, which is a good thing. Whether it can be solved is another question entirely. I doubt it because of human nature.


I disagree. I’ve actually seen more open racism since the taboo on racism became stronger. In a pluralistic society, they are overrated as a way of influencing social behavior. You’d have to completely eliminate the faction who disagrees with the taboo.
