That's one way to look at it, if you want to radically oversimplify the problem. Another way to look at it is there currently exists very clear discrimination practices based other vectors (income, geography, history). System racism is intersectional. Arguing that it is "all or nothing" is another tactic to erase the existence of discrimination. This fallacy is often deployed intentionally.

Of the things you mentioned, income and geography is actually much easier to classify objectively than history and race. As an added bonus, income-based social policies would not throw poor people with certain ethnic backgrounds onto the "won't help, are privileged" pile. Poverty is crushing for everyone.
