The contemporary popular definition of structural racism is merely a synonym of racism, so it really doesn't matter either way. The original definition is of no use to contemporary woke types because it concerns how power structures and institutions promote racist ends regardless of whether the individuals themselves behave in racist ways. Contemporary woke types are only interested in moralizing and individualizing, so they have abused this terminology to a point that its contemporary definition has no resemblance to the original.
