I Deduce that Candyman is Effectively Real and Rampaging

I'd hate to be the bearer of bad news but racism is alive and well in the year 2021 and will probably be going strong for several more years to come.

 What an interesting flair for understatement you have.

It's my understanding that people of the Middle Kingdom as well those living in The Land Of The rising Sun, still consider themselves  to be the only civilised people on earth. 

Systemic racism remains throughout the US and in my own country. In my opinion it will take at least another century to grow through it.

I could really only speak for what I've seen from my own country. I don't know enough about the rest of the world to comment, but what you said doesn't surprise me.
