Well, I was making some tacit assumptions, like that humanity would end up in control of its own future, and any non-human people we come across would not simply overpower us. Apart from that, am I making some mistake?

White people have not unanimously decided to do what is necessary to end the ongoing oppression of non-white people, let alone erase the effects of past oppression.

Edit: Folks, I am not accusing you or your personal friends of anything. I have never met most of you. I have certainly not met most of your personal friends. if you do not agree with the above comment, please explain why you think there is no longer such a thing as modern-day racism in white people.
