Do they get far today? What changed, if not the law?

Your city council may be composed of criminals and racists, but with the courts, you get another shot at getting a slate of people who can help you who might not be.

There's nothing you can do in a society that's 100% biased against you, but in a society that's 50% biased against you, appeals might rule in your favour.
