There is systematic racism. It's against Whites. Been that way, and continuing to get worse, since the 1960s.
Take a White kid and a black kid in high school with exactly the same grades. Let's say both have a 4.0 GPA after their Junior year, taking the exact same curriculum. Same extracurricular experiences, etc.. Now both apply to the same Ivy League school. Which is getting in?
Same for hiring and advancement.
