Because it neither states nor implies wrongdoing on my part unless you assume that all actions that cause harm are culpable, which they are not.

Which, in fact, is a really important distinction to be able to make to be able to think about what "institutional" or "structural" racism is. It's not the sum of a collection of malicious decisions. There doesn't need to be a specific bad actor to get a bad outcome.
