This type of stuff still goes on regularly today, albeit without the paper trail. When in college, I did a research paper on housing discrimination on Long Island, and the statistics were pretty alarming.
IMO Donald Sterling's role in perpetuating housing discrimination is the greater atrocity than anything he was recorded saying. I was hoping the media would use it as a springboard to investigate this common practice that never gets any press. Instead we made a big show of punishing him and went back to feeling pretty good about American equality. Opportunity missed to shed some light on some pretty screwed up practices in the real estate business.
