So, if a study is conducted on a Caucasian majority, it's considered systemic racism, but if a vast majority (78%) of participants are black, that's okay? In this study it's really more than a significant majority overload, since only 13% of the U.S. population is black!! How's this not racism of a reverse sort? Asking for a friend. You can respond with all the snarky comments you want, but one discrimination cannot correct a previous one (real or imagined).
