Racism in general is inherently systemic, not a single human is born racist. “If you can convince the lowest white man (or Indian) he’s better than the best colored man (or a lower caste), he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.” - Lyndon B. Johnson
