I suspect most systemic oppression is a myth. But it's very commonly used as an important concept in America, and I wanna make sure I'm not missing anything - can someone steelman systemic oppression for me - what it means exactly, and if that definition is supported by data?

To clarify my position more: I do agree in some cities, explicit racism of those in power do have a noticeable impact on individuals living in that city. Also I am interested in current examples of oppression, not historical explanations.

Also to clarify further, after seeing responses, I'm especially interested in what you mean when you say systemic oppression. Being very clear the sort of thing you're referring to is really helpful
