Systemic racism is present in everything, that's the nature of a systemic problem. It's system wide.
It's embedded in the architecture, the laws, the education of the nation (and, sadly, all nations).
An example would be unconscious bias - which is evident in the selection of CV's for interview, where African sounding names are picked less frequently than English sounding names, when the CV is the same.
Which is why unconscious bias training is needed, to show people where (to put it in very goal orientated terms) they might be putting their organisation at a competitive disadvantage in the market by picking less well qualified applicants because they're called Darren, or John, or Dave, when Sanjay may be a far better choice.
