It comes down to what is (the definition of) institutional racism and I haven't seen that discussed much. There is possibly an eliminate of unintentionally but damaging 'cross purposes' going on here.
It first reared it`s head in the Lawrence report by Sir William Macpherson in 1999.
"The collective failure of an organisation to provide an appropriate and professional service to people because of their colour, culture, or ethnic origin. It can be seen or detected in processes, attitudes and behaviour that amount to discrimination through prejudice, ignorance, thoughtlessness, and racist stereotyping which disadvantage minority ethnic people"
In my humble, right leaning opinion there is almost zero institutional racism, most large organisations have policies and procedures to nullify it`s occurrence either intentional or accidental.
However, and this is where it gets tricky, as you work down into society as a whole the water is much more murky.
Racism still exists and it is not purely the domain of "White v Black" it is far more subtle and nuanced.
Then you are into far wider societal problems of how some people choose to live.
Good luck fixing that, lets just be nice humans that would be a start.
