Friendly reminder. We are living in 2019. There is no institutional racism. There hasn't been for a very long time. But, that doesn't mean that bigotry isn't rearing its ugly head... it is. Ideas are under attack. The thought police are watching you.

What I mean by this is that there is no proof of institutional racism. Not one law, not one government or even corporate policy which supports racism explicitly. It would even be a stretch to find one that implicitly supports it. All reasonable people are against racism.
Think about it this way. I've had plenty of private conversations with people in all areas of tech over a few beers where true feelings were spoken and inhibition ran wild. Never once heard anyone truly speak in support of racism.
