    As opposed to ignoring a whole sentence that I wrote in order to make me come off as if I deny the existence of racism?

      Maybe you shouldn’t downplay the existence of racism due to racial homogeneity by handwaving it away and some vague appeal to “stats” you don’t have next time? I don’t know what else to tell you.

        I’m not downplaying its existence but its wider social effects. If a society of two thousand people is racist against two members of that society, that is not likely to affect the mental health of dozens of members of the society - at most only those two who are the direct victims and those who are close to them.
