To be fair, the term "institutional racism" is usually intended to mean what would be more precisely termed "systemic racism". It bothers me a little bit too but at least it's mostly consistent.
What really grinds my gears is when people call it "systematic racism". "Systematic" and "systemic" are not even close to synonyms. No one is out there making sure everyone gets a little bit of racism and no one is missed.

- Ancapistani 5y agoHeh - thanks. The second instance should be "systematic". I have a browser extension that automatically replaces the term. I've just "cloud-to-butt"ed myself.
