Beautifully written Ani. Another well presented piece.

Very clear explanation of a complex topic. I think you're right about the inadequacy of the systemic racism narrative as an explanation for group differences in outcome. It seems to be an unquestionable article of faith in the health sector. And the problem is that it gives nothing to grasp on to in terms of finding practical solutions, and leads to witch hunts to seek out ever decreasing amounts of actual racism. We are frequently told by health academics that "decolonisation" will fix these problems and result in some kind of utopia, which seems to be almost magical thinking.
