      Well, yeah. Systemic racism was invented by British colonizers as an excuse for abusing and exploiting people with darker skin and to this day, it’s very effective in different variants all over the world 😮‍💨

        Systemic racism has existed as long as concepts of race exist. No one needed to create an intentional system that favors the dominant ethnicity.

        Scientific racism was created in France to justify the enslavement of African Christians as normally it is illegal in canon law to enslave another Christian. The UK and other Northern European nations embraced these concepts and built upon them.
