Are the European Comission and the European Council "systematically racist" too, since the vote of a Maltese matters more to determine the makeup of these institutions then the vote of a German, and more black people live in Germany then in Malta?
- lukas099 3y agoMaybe a little bit.
- lukas099 3y agoWikipedia defines the term as "policies and practices that exist throughout a whole society or organization that result in and support a continued unfair advantage to some people and unfair or harmful treatment of others based on race". So if black people are at all disadvantaged due to the EU system, it would seem that by definition the system is at least a little systemically racist. Probably not enough to warrant changing though based on the tradeoffs involved (unless there are other reasons for changing it).
