We already have: Race-specific clubs on Universities.[1]; Race-specific departments on Universities.[2]; Race-specific video playlists on YouTube. [3]; Race-specific filters for map apps. [4]; Race-specific brands [5]; Race-specific merchandise [6]; Race-specific professional feeds [7]; Race-specific video channels [8.1][8.2]; Race-specific graduations [9];
I could go on endlessly with this list. You see the trend. America is socially segregating itself. So the concern you raise with race-specific water fountains is valid. Though that form of segregation, specifically, may not return, but other forms will.
