I cannot state that "just about everyone" is racist any more than I can prove "everyone is racist" because there's no way to prove either. I'd be talking out my ass as there's no way to get the data. (Unless I use Adder's goofy definition where everyone everywhere is racist toward everyone else.)
But I can look at systems and see that they create racist results and appear to be geared to do so. That data is voluminous.
The system and the individual are Two Different Things. You are never going to make them one because that is impossible. That is the fundamental flaw in identity politics that precludes it from getting a significant foothold.

Suffice it to say that we fundamentally disagree about whether it is easier to convince people that racist systems or individual biases exist.
