The only "Institutional" racism is in the perceptions and policies demanded of the USA by the American left. They are the only ones who still think blacks incapable of achieving on their own, and, instead require government aid to be successful.

I suspect "the American left" cut very little ice in the institutionalisation of racism in Oz or the UK. While Azizi, who started the thread, is from the US, she addressed the Mudcat community and its effects. The Mudcat community (like racism) is quite international in its components and outlook and the discussion has both acknowledged and been enriched by that perspective.

But I certainly have no disagreement with the rest of your post.
