Where in the US can I find that society? I'm having trouble being convinced when trying to reconcile this with the waves of anti-asian violence that's been tearing our community apart for the last few weeks.
Is it really difficult to admit that we don't yet live in a perfect society?
Any western civilization has equality of individuals as one of their core values, next to democracy, separation of powers, freedom of speech, etc.

We will never live in a perfect society. That's why I say people should get with the program. Anti-asian violence is a crime that can and should be prosecuted.
So your entire argument falls down to: government says we're all equal, therefore equality achieved. It's as if everyone was simply making a giant fuss about racism and feminism that never existed for decades.
Discrimination does not need to be overt, mostly it's insidious, cloaked in vague statements such as "culture fit". And no, not everyone is considered equal. There are many (or at the very least non-zero) racists, sexists, homophobes, and bigots of many other forms in the world. Thinking that that does not affect how those in power go about their business is willful ignorance, capricious heartlessness, or gleeful complicity. Just because it is no longer possible to actively voice discriminatory opinions, or that laws exist to ostensibly stop discrimination does not stop its effects, and sticking our heads in the sand does not stop them.
