No, I am giving you a pithy example of how people will say there isn’t any systemic racism.
I never said that there aren’t racists, but when you have anti-discrimination policies in place, the public believes that there isn’t “systemic racism”. So then the problem becomes that putting policies into place which favor minorities makes it seem like “only minorities are being favored”. That creates divisions and polarization. That’s separate from the issue that nation state actors will use this polarization to create issues in democracies.
That’s why, the best way forward for leftists is to favor policies which target systemic issues for the poor.
