“People of color” is one of these broad, meaningless abstractions that means very little when you think about it carefully, encompassing everyone from American-born blacks, who tend to be at the very bottom of our socioeconomic order, to Nigerians, East Asians or South Asians, who tend to cluster at the top, and I think attributing any one viewpoint to these disparate groups like you are is itself racist and also silly.

As for this idea that our institutions are somehow permeated by white supremacy, it sounds like you’re just repeating trendy nonsense you’ve heard. I have no idea what this actually means. Our institutions — universities, financial corporations, media, the entertainment industry, etc. — are all bending over backwards to show FAVORITISM, NOT RACISM, towards black Americans. You seem to be stuck in some mindset that would’ve made sense in 1950, not 2019.
