I don't think the discussion was about the origins of racism, was it?

Racism builds systems of governing and laws that can be racist. Ergo, you see structural racism (again, redlining) which can exist long after the racial zeitgeist has passed.

But you have applied a predicate (ie. 'structural') to specify a kind of racism, implying the general form of racism, which is, simply put, any discrimination on the basis of race.

Yes, and? This was specifically in response to the denial that racism is not a structural thing, which we have objective historical examples of structural racism affecting different populations.

Ok, well, it seems we are in agreement.
