Persuasion-wise, "systemic racism" as a rallying cry probably makes things worse because it introduces a new thing to disagree about. But if tweaking our systems to add more checks against racism works, I'm all for it.

I wonder if whites are treated equally differently in African countries which are predominantly black? I'm not sure there is a comparative parallel.

Look up restorative learning. Basically, it means that black kids get free passes and less discipline because of racism.

Teachers are routinely questioned & accused when they fail or discipline black students in high schools that r under scrutiny for discriminatory behaviors. Cops probably are effected by this kind of thinking too.
