It succinctly describes the reality that we all live in. If you don't use that word, there isn't another that captures the way in which we all are complicit, in varying ways, through what we do and don't do, in perpetuating societal discrimination and systematic disadvantage based on race and ethnicity.
You agree that there is societal discrimination and systematic disadvantage based on race and ethnicity. You also agree that just about everyone is involved in perpetuating it, intentionally and consciously or unintentionally and inadvertently. You just resist, as a matter of semantics apparently, using this word to describe that.
