I don't think that's true. I think there was probably a lot of anti-muggle racism pre-Voldemort that has also been discredited. People who were part of the broader structure of anti-Mugglism without being militant and violent. That stuff got discredited too.

Not really. Prior to Voldemort's first rise there was the same broad tolerance, that was what Voldemort was a reaction against. That is exactly what it has reverted to, a few notable muggleborns have risen above their station by virtue of extraordinary talents, but they are still going to be trespassers within a social context set up to benefit those already within it. The best they can hope for is that their own half-blooded children will be more accepted. Cause it is all about the UK class system, not racism. You don't change your own social class even these days, you change it for your children's class.

Is there a source in canon for this? It's a really interesting take but I'm not sure where it's coming from in canon.

If it's just an interpretation of the books, I think it's a really interesting reading. But even reading it in terms of class, that doesn't mean it has to go back to what it was before: a magical, euphoric resolution of the injustices of the class system fits pretty well with Harry Potter imo.
