It's been around a while but it is a social construct, so I do believe it can "end." Obviously absolute zero racists is improbable, but I think it could be similar to the amount of people today that still believe the earth is flat. But it will be replaced by something else. We are inclined biologically to identify people that are different than us (kind of a clan, tribe, group thing) and treat them differently, but I don't think it will forever be racism.
