I attended said private schools, which were 95% white and located right in the middle of school districts whose high schools are way over 75% minority with busing. And these were the severely underperforming public schools. One district over was a public school that's as over 75% white whose performance was overperforming. Both belonged to the same school district.
If its effects result in something that looks like systemic racism, it should definitely be given careful scrutiny.
Edit to add: A sibling comment talked about how brand new private schools created in the 70's post-desegregation world were openly discussed as being created so schools can stay white. I was under the impression this was common knowledge and it corroborates with what I heard growing up in NC and talking with folks who lived through it.
