      This article addresses the prospect of ending racism and discrimination in the United States. It begins by defining racism and discrimination and differentiating individual prejudice from institutional racism. It then reviews the extent of social change that has led to a decline, to an extent, in racism and discrimination since the middle of the twentieth century, as well as the continuing significance of racism and discrimination in the lives of people of color. People have proposed various ways of reducing or ending racism and discrimination. This article reviews three such proposals—increased multicultural education, reforms to the legal system, and radical social change. It also considers the argument that eradicating racism and discrimination in the United States is impossible as well as the argument that eradicating racism and discrimination is unnecessary.
