“Systemic racism” refers to the complex interaction of societal institutions and embedded normative practices that produce racial inequality by disadvantaging Black Americans, Latinx, Asian, and Indigenous peoples.
We hear this term often these days, and rightly so.

A bill that would require all Maine legislation be evaluated for impacts on historically disadvantaged racial or ethnic groups made headway Wednesday.
Members of the Joint Standing Committee on State and Local Government voted 7-5 to pass L.D. 2, introduced by Assistant House Majority Leader Rep. Rachel Talbot Ross, D-Portland.
L.D. 2 “An Act to Require the Inclusion of Racial Impact Statements in the Legislative Process” will now be brought to the full House for a vote though it’s not clear when that might happen. The measure would require that racial impact statements be included with all bills before the Legislature.
