The Ahmaud Arbery situation is one of the most blatant recent examples. Although elements other than race were likely in play as well.
If they were willing to cover a homicide, imagine all the small shite they covered over the years.

There you go with your racist comments. This is the problem. You ASSUME that whites (again assuming that whites are the only ones allowed to make decisions at a bank) will turn down blacks for whatever reason. You have no bona fide proof, you just want to feel like it is going on today. Thus, your and many blacks, opinions are based on heresay, thus you are angered unnecessarily creating a divide which isn't there

This is not "institutionalized racism". This is a case of one or two people committing a crime against an innocent individual and they are facing their day in court and we hope justice will be served. You would not call a black man's assault on a white person "institutional racism". You would properly call it a "crime".

Everyone has biases, race, sex, class, religion....
Today’s injustices are a product of the past, it’s inter generational and compounding. Many pointing at the advantages minorities have, and there was a reason they were put in place. It will take generations of mild to moderate advantages for them to make up for past generations disadvantages.

Governments having the official, institutionalized policy of discriminating against white males in the awarding of government contracts.

Is that why Nigerians who come to America thrive?
Or Vietnamese?
Because it takes generations of affirmative action and victimhood to make things better in a country that allows advancement with hard work, education, ingenuity, and more hard work?

Affirmative action hiring.

In 2018, Toyota settled a 22mm class action for charging higher interest rates to blacks and Pacific Islanders who had the same credit score and credentials as white customers who were charged lower rates.

Maybe you aren't familiar with the case, but that is completely incorrect.
The first two district attorneys assigned the case refused to bring charges and eventually recused themselves. In the second one's recusal letter, he blatantly lied when defending his decision not to bring charges by stating that the McMichaels were justified under Georgia's citizens' arrest law. However, the law requires that the citizen 1) DIRECTLY WITNESS the commission or attempted commission of 2) a FELONY.
The McMichaels admitted in their interview that they didn't witness Arbery do anything except run down the street, and second, Arbery didn't commit a felony - Trespassing is a misdemeanor. The McMichaels own admissions' was sufficient to convene a GJ.
Oh and the younger McMichael said "F****** N******" after he shot Arbery.
Only after a national furor did the third district attorney bring charges.
Oh, and the first two are under investigation for prosecutorial misconduct.

Car dealerships took advantage of uninformed consumers?
Shocked. I'm shocked, I say.
I wonder if any poor non-black/latino also paid higher rates?

Maybe you aren't familiar with the county in question.
Two women are dead for the same district attorneys office failure to bring charges against people associated with the local law enforcement/DAs office.
Those women were white.

Nigerians thrive primarily because
1) They tend to be highly educated; 4% have PhDs, 29% have grad degrees, compared to 1% and 11% of the total US population. They are the most highly educated ethnic group in America.
2) Most arrived in the 1980s, after the heavy lifting of the civil rights era was passed;
3) The ones who came were often on scholarships and represented the best and brightest of Nigeria;
4) Social aspects; they came from strong backgrounds and solid traditions;
5) They didn't experience the cultural disenfranchisement that the former slaves did.
I'm sure there's more....

That's what happens when they come and have success.
More follow.
In case you haven't noticed, the US brings a ton of foreigners to this country to capture the American dream.

I completely agree that race isn't the only, or even necessarily the primary motivating factor. But overall I think it played a role in the situation.
Got a link for the other situation?

In other words, there is now no institutional racism.
