Sounds quite deplorable
More than the system that created the conditions? So it's the victim's fault. I see.
So the victims, in this case, are the people who voted for Trump?
Yeah, nah.
Well, the leopards ate their faces too!
Hating brown people is not the fault of the system.
It... Kinda is though? Obviously xenophobia is baked into human biology, true, but why people are not xenophobic is because they've been exposed to lots of different things/people by their parents/society. The reason you're not and I'm not is because we came in contact with lots of foreign things/people, so "our system" (meaning the immediate people around us that had the most impact on us) contributed to removing our natural xenophobia.
So essentially, other people, who did not learn to reduce their xenophobia, were "failed by the system". Because the system allowed their parents, neighbors, friends to not reduce their xenophobia, like it should have happened.
That doesn't absolve them of responsibility and make them a victim though
