> And I’d argue the consequences aren’t that different.
This is wrong. (Systemic) racism (still) exists. Someone who has natural advantages in society (white men) does not suffer the same consequences of the events you listed:
- "passed over for a job" Jobs are easier to get for white people in the US, no?
- "pulled over by cops" really?
- "denied the ability to purchase a house" redlining has denied a lot of wealth to black families in the US
> those all have equal levels of consequence for the person on the receiving end.
>Someone who has natural advantages in society (white men)
White men no longer have natural advantages. As a matter of fact the Supreme Court agreed that White and Asian males are now at a natural disadvantage.

So, this is not true.
