Systemic racism refers to the systems and structures that create and perpetuate racial inequality in society, affecting various aspects of life, including wealth, employment, housing, healthcare, education, and the criminal justice system. It's not just about individual prejudice, but rather about the deeply embedded discriminatory practices, policies, and beliefs within institutions.
