Racial equality

Racial equality is when people of all races and ethnicities are treated in an egalitarian/equal manner.[1] Racial equality occurs when institutions give individuals legal, moral, and political rights.[2] In present-day Western society, equality among races continues to become normative. Prior to the early 1960s, attaining equality was difficult for African, Asian, and Indigenous people.[3] However, in more recent years, legislation is being passed ensuring that all individuals receive equal opportunities in treatment, education, employment, and other areas of life.[2] Racial equality can refer to equal opportunities or formal equality based on race or refer to equal representation or equality of outcomes for races, also called substantive equality.[4]
