I'll ignore the personal racism part for now.Personal racism- Hatred for people of a particular race that is present in an individual. MarcATL is an example of someone exhibiting personal racism toward White people.
Systemic racism- Oppression of a particular race that is facilitated through a country's 'systems' i.e. government, law enforcement, hiring policies, dining policies, travel policies, sports and entertainment organizations etc. Not allowing Black people to dine in a restaurant with White people is an example of systemic racism.
As relates to your definition of systemic racism, you believe it has to be a clear, perhaps written, policy for it to be truly systemic, is that correct?
