> Cannot the system itself be the oppressor, instead of "white people"?

Sure, and that begs the question "who created the system?", "who does the system benefit?", "why is the system structured this way?". All of which are /good/ questions to ask, that critical theory advocates are all too willing to provide easy non-nuanced answers to, answers that boil down to "white people". Unfortunately, it turns out that anti-racism (at least as currently implemented/advocated in the majority of colleges and universities) is just racism with a different label.

Then the problem is the the advocates and not CRT, no?

Speaking of answers without nuance...
