The problem with that view is that, in such a definition of racism, it quite simply is not an -ism.

  Of course it is, it's just systemic, not individualized.

  There are lot of systematic "isms" -- capitalism, socialism, fascism, etc.
  • humanrebar 9y ago
    Those words aren't used the same way as "racism". To wit: Are communist Americans also capitalist because they part of systemic structural capitalism?
    • twblalock 9y ago
      Yes, you might call them anti-capitalist capitalists.

      The point isn’t to find an adjective for the communists, but to describe the society they live in, and whether specific actions or policies make it more or less that way.
