Systemic is an important word to include. Systemic racism.

    Is this that weird, newfangled definition of racism where the actual beliefs and intentions of the actors arent considered, but the outcomes of a particular racial group are, so any action that makes a racial group worse off relative to any other racial group is racism?

    Because if so, this statement seems very cart-before-the-horse. "If all racial groups were equally impacted by all actions, this wouldn't be happening" is true, I guess... But it's kind of like saying "if no one ever got murdered, this wouldn't be happening."

    Systemic racism refers to the systems and structures that create and perpetuate racial inequality in society, affecting various aspects of life, including wealth, employment, housing, healthcare, education, and the criminal justice system. It's not just about individual prejudice, but rather about the deeply embedded discriminatory practices, policies, and beliefs within institutions.
