    As opposed to ignoring a whole sentence that I wrote in order to make me come off as if I deny the existence of racism?

        I’m not downplaying its existence but its wider social effects. If a society of two thousand people is racist against two members of that society, that is not likely to affect the mental health of dozens of members of the society - at most only those two who are the direct victims and those who are close to them.
