Just because „it‘s said“ does not make it correct. I can‘t speak about the situation in the US. But I will speak about the situation in contemporary Germany. I completely reject all of this. Anyone who claims racism is baked into a (european) system should name those injustices (and not omit any corrective measures, for example built into the education and tax systems). Given that, any connection to languages (renaming stuff) should be proven as well. Just invoking some handwavy mistakes in the past is not sufficient. Invoking problems in the US is not sufficient. And even when those problems exist, this, by itself, is not a good reason to accept an arbitrary cause not supported by an argument.

The claim that there is „one side“ with all the advantages is a distraction as well. There are many imbalances and injustices. They are not between two sides. Things that come to my mind are, for example:

* Was your family rich?

* Was your family educated?

* Gender

* Skin color

* Family ties in the place you live

* Accents/Habitus

* Social strata

* Political power

This is a very basic listing. All of this may or may not have an influence. The fact that the current debate is more shallow than even that says a lot.

It not even about animals like dogs, cats, ..., chickens that are enslaved by humans in exactly same way as people where and in some places are, it is not even about human trafficking or education. Only imagine if all this companies that backed a change would setup/double a fund to promote minority kids STEM education and/or legal support fund for police abuse, instead we get slave is offensive word.
