That’s the thing about systematic racism, each individual actor or firm can claim their actions aren’t racist and yet in the aggregate the effects exist and emerge.

Then we get VCs pledging to take deliberate steps to address the problem and they turn out to be vaporware.

If each individual actor or firm is not being racist than no racism, systemic or not, exists in the aggregate.

However you didn't claim that no actor was being racist regardless, you claimed that the redliners were being racist, which is true. So go after them and their children, not Google.
