There's a reason why the terms de jure and de facto were imported into our language, and that's because the existence of the two separate states of affairs is obvious in most cases -- especially in our own society. It's the same reason the 1964 CRA didn't eliminate racism (which is simply the belief in inequality) even though it made all Americans legally equal.
