It seems you kind of understood systemic racism. The person who looks different than the 20 people next to them will experience this on the regular. Which, considering it objectively, is shitty for them to happen to and shitty to be done by the rest.
Yes, I assume if this happens once then it happens more regularly. It sounds absolutely draining.
I think people don't realise that racism doesn't just mean intentional and pre-meditated behaviour, but also inherent biases. Biases that we should really be educated on to make the lives of our fellow humans better.
Exactly it's important to acknowledge the different ways of how racism can show.
It's quite possible the person didn't have a malicious or racist intent at that moment. It's still racist and people need awareness to tackle that subconscious racism. That's why talking about it and bringing it to the news is so important.
Not saying you wanted to stop the discussion, btw. Just wanted to add to it.
