> Narratives about racism in America are about the systemic, structural

What the author experienced happened in a structured institution.

> our country disadvantages black people

You need to add black to your definition of racism so that what the author experienced doesn't qualify as it.

> My point is that this isn't the sort of thing we're talking about when we talk about racism in America;

This is true, and hence the hypocrisy, only caring about a particular oppression, instead of all oppression.

> it's about the system as a whole.

Discriminated people, white or black, are all part of the system as a whole
