The definition of Institutional Racism is necessary because the general definition doesn't recognize the importance of access to systems of power.

Wait, so you're really going to tell me that White people, as a group, don't have more access to systems of power & benefit from that access more than other groups? Really?

That's a direct answer to your question. The government, law enforcement, educational faculty etc are all the most overt forms, but other things like being in charge of hiring people is another example.

No you don't have to prove that they are a monolithic hive mind. Everyone has some amount of racial prejudice & White ppl benefit from the way the system already works. People like you who want to maintain the status quo is a perfect example.

Also Black ppl, mostly, live in poor areas that have been redlined & have very little economic opportunity. So you're example is irrelevant.
