I'm pasting part of a comment I made a few days ago on a different post:
This is called implicit racism, and it permeates our society to a systemic level. Healthcare can be a good example, and the U.S. criminal justice system is the best example imo.
One thing that really drives home the systemic implicit racism in this country are studies that have people rate black and white men on how strong/large/muscular and threatening they perceive them to be. The black men were perceived to be more threatening and that use of force was more likely to be viewed as justified. Black and white Americans both perceived the black men to be stronger, taller, and more muscular than their equal-sized white counterparts. Source
Another study found that people view black boys as older than they are, and that they are more responsible for their actions than white boys, whose actions were more likely to be excused by the belief of childhood innocence. So our society essentially strips black boys of their perceived childhood innocence. Same Source
Also should definitely be pointed out that Black Americans are incarcerated at a nearly 5 times greater rate than are White Americans. Source
Tamir Rice right there. When he was murdered, people online were all over the place saying how he was a tall kid etc, as if that matters in any way
Yes this implicit bias is foundational and starts as early as preschool. Here's a Yale study from 2016 and a short video explainer.

Worth pointing out that, since the first racially biased "study" about crime and race, blacks have been wrongly painted as being "mOrE PrOnE to CrIMe" which has done a lot of damage in further spreading and embedding systemic racism. (Source: The Condemnation of Blackness by Khalil Gibran Muhammad)
First off, not a fan of ADL and equating anti-zionism with antisemitism.
Second, just want to call out my home state Arkansas for making it illegal to make mandatory implicit racism training. Like, you aren't allowed to tell people they're being racist. Ridiculous.
Third, fuck the ADL.
