- commandlinefan 5y agoWell, just for the record, I'm dismissing it too - "systemic" racism is completely imaginary.
- hackerrrnews 5y agoDefinitely! It's completely imaginary to those it doesn't affect.
- l33t2328 5y agoWhy do you say that?
- commandlinefan 5y agoWell, for one, it's not actually defined - and this is deliberate, because if one were try to define it in any meaningful way it could immediately be proven to be incorrect. For the most part, its proponents point to (somewhat arbitrary) statistics, but ignore counter-statistics (like incarceration rates of men vs. women, for example) that undermine their position.
- l33t2328 5y agoYou would say average income, education level, incarceration rate, etc. are arbitrary? Is there any statistic where black people in America are performing better than any other race?
