Ding ding ding! This is actually unintentionally correct and pertinent. Above is precisely the point I was making - we don't know it plays a part, even in the rare instances where there's evidence of real rather than imagined racism. But it's just assumed, with no real evidence to back it up.
We're led to believe that "insitutional racism" is the rule, rather than the exception, keeping minorities down. Yet the last 20-30 years grievances have been redressed and every advantage given to minorities, from college to preferential hiring and promotion (and many companies actively recognizing the value of diversity and seeking out qualified candidates).
"Insitutional racism" is another dog whistle to continue (and expand) failed affirmative action programs.
LMFAO...stormfront and chimpout? Yeah, that really reflects mainstream reality. A couple of racist idiots proves rampant institutional racism. Ummkay.
