Yeah I agree with you.
When they said:
They are totally ignoring the fact that systemic racism is self reinforcing.
E.g. if one group of parents have enough cash on hand to enroll their children in tutoring when they need it, and impressive extra curricular activities when tutoring is unnecessary, then the children of those parents will have stronger university applications than the children that have to work part time jobs. This perpetuates racially inequality.
It's not difficult to understand. It doesn't even require racial prejudice.
It's not difficult to understand, except it's wrong in experience.
Not every racialized person reports experiencing racism. That can be for various reasons, one of the potential reasons is that they haven't experienced racism. Although I guess in that case they wouldn't be a racialized person... just a person of colour.
