"Systemic racism" is not provable. It simply is not.
How can anyone know for certain if police officers are unfairly targeting minorities, or if minorities simply break more laws? How can this be proven in either direction?
It can't be. And so broad assumptions are made, that assume racism where there are disparities.

Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
The US has real life examples, how housing and loans were made to limit where Black people live and this was sanctioned by the government and I'm not talking about 150 years ago, there are old Black people still around you lived through it.
To this day, there are many states which still have housing "Caucasians Only" bylaws. Sure they're not enforced due in part to the Fair Housing Act , but they're still in the rules.
To this day housing decriminalization happens, is it like before? No. Still happens though.
This is obviously an ambiguous one off incident, but it shows racial hatred is still real.
Another example would be Liam Neeson who confirmed he was going mentally ill wanting to kill a black person. Though, he’s somewhat gotten better now, I guess.

What you say is true, and there's a part to the story that simply doesn't get told.
That being many of the lenders and housers happen to be Jewish.
Relevance, you ask? Only that the charge of racism is squarely aimed at whites. Yet whites do not own many of the institutions that caused this disparity in the first place (At least not Euro-Aryan sorts, the main target of bigotry criticisms)

Don't know if one was ever that blatant in the open, our racist politicians tend to prefer dogwhistlings and innuendo, not saying the quiet part out loud. Though I could see it happening in the past.
There was a time when Italian's and Poles weren't considered white. So by neither half of my family I wouldn't be considered white.
I think it was just the English who were true whites. And maybe Irish?
