I haven't read any of Feagin's research, but from reading that article's commentary on Feagin's research, it outlines a highly US-centric approach to defining systemic racism, which would imply that systemic racism, by definition, cannot exist outside of the US. I don't know enough in the field to know if Feagin's definition is a popular one worldwide, or even within the US, but it seems somewhat reductive on first reading. If systemic racism cannot occur outside of the US, what then should we refer to racism that is "systemic" as? > By that definition, all racism is systemic racism, since the system is made up of people. Technically, I would agree, but going that far seems somewhat pedantic.
