To me bullying doesn't seem to reach the level of systemic. Although, thinking about it I can't clearly define the threshold level at which bullying becomes persecution.
The quote from Wikipedia is systematic, not systemic. Persecution need not be systemic, but I would say that oftentimes what most of us would classify as actual persecution is systemic persecution.
