Right, so to follow up on that...
Do you think that things like systemic racism exist?
E.g. Do you think we can infer that some kind of racial animus/prejudice exists in the judicial system when black American minors are disproportionately charged as adults relative to white Americans, even if no one in the process has made their racial animus explicit in public, or otherwise?
What I am getting at is do you think it is reasonable to infer racism by an individuals actions if there is a lack of explicit intent?
Edit: I think if I am asking these questions, I should at least be willing to answer them myself...So my answer is yes. While I can recognize it might be difficult to do at the individual level, I think we can look at these things from a macro lens, and infer that these things exist.
