I completely disagree with this, but can you elaborate on racism not being in policy. I think you are confusing systemic racism (in regards to white privilege) with slurs, discrimination, hating someone's skin color, etc.

I mean it's possible to have ideally equitable policy and do almost nothing to address the root causes of racism.

It's also possible to have policy that is intended to stifle, or harm a specific race. I mean Jim Crow laws were less than half a century ago.
It's a shame that we have to debate this in 2015...
