Sorry, I was distracted during my earlier answer and ran out of editing time.

Yes, Jim Crow was apartheid, you can make narrow arguments that it still exists here in some areas. The percentage of black people incarcerated vs white, the length of sentences for the same crime, the difficulty black farmers have getting business loans, the disparate real estate values of black vs white owned homes:

"Homes in Black neighborhoods are valued at 23 percent less, on average, than those in comparable White neighborhoods — despite having similar neighborhood and property characteristics and amenities, according to a Brookings Institution report." Mar 23, 2022

Not to mention pubic school quality, college and career opportunities, and, obviously, the frequent mistreatment of black people by police.

I guess I meant it more as a question than a statement, so, let me try again, is oppression or discrimination based on race or ethnicity always apartheid?
