No.
It does not read like a grocery list at all. In fact, it contradicts your claim and supports the idea that ths is not a grocery list of discrete units but instead a com0lex web of issues that cannot be separated from context.
Since you are not answering the question, I will assume you agree that racism is caused more by societal structures and cultural assumptions than by individual and psychological factors.
I doubt it.
Can you provide an example of this?
I asked you to support your claim that the only relationship between law and racism is anti-discrimination law.
You did not support this claim at all.
And you have not supported this claim either.
I suggest you make a clear and specific criticism of this aspect of CRT theory and then support it with evidence.
There is a crack in everything,
That's how the light gets in...

No.
Reads like a grocery shopping list to me. Who has a better engineering workplace experience, that disabled Black female engineer or the poor white male high school dropout that works cleaning the toilets at the office?

Depends on the social problem we're talking about. Racism is by itself a social problem, but it's far from being the only one.
Since you are not answering the question, I will assume you agree that racism is caused more by societal structures and cultural assumptions than by individual and psychological factors.
And yet in practice CR theorists disregard all other possible causes and indeed some may even call you names for pointing out that, no, not every social problem is about racism (or sexism or other forms of discrimination).
I doubt it.

You were asking if "structural racism" (a construct you have yet to define and whose existence you have yet to prove) exerts and maintains its power through the law. Yet that flies on its face when one considers the very existence of anti-discrimination law and things like affirmative action.
I asked you to support your claim that the only relationship between law and racism is anti-discrimination law.

Actually you are the one who has to prove that the US supports racism through its laws. I think the Civil Rights Act amounted to the dismantling of such a system, if you believe it still exists, then go on and prove so.
Name the law, cite from it and depending on what you find we'll be able to continue the discussion.
And you have not supported this claim either.
