    English is not my native language, but I think there’s a valid distinction between systemic (an institution being racist) and non-systemic racism (an individual or individual entity being racist)

    If this was an American company doing this in another country, wouldn’t we be calling this racist? I understand that there can be no systemic violence against white people in the US, but there can be discrimination (as you call it) against them. Also, like another commenter mentioned, what if other people (e.g black people) were discriminated against with this policy? Would you then call it racist instead of “just” discriminatory?

    It doesn’t seem a meaningful distinction to make in this case, at least to me.
