Like what?
You want examples of systemic racism?
Poverty: Same thing for any people of any race the most important part is their ability to get an education that'll get them out of it while having stability, slavery has nothing to do with it.
Australia: I live in Australia what are you talking about?!
Black people are up to 4 times more likely to be accepted in American medical universities due to diversity quotas https://www.aei.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/med.png
Of course schools teach in the language of the country they are in do you expect them to teach in 5 different languages?!
It makes sense that the government doesn't want to encourage illegal immigration.

Seriously it seems that your taking all this out of your imagination.
And yet black people only make up 7% of med school matriculants. Given that roughly 14% of the us population is black, this indicates a systemic issue preventing black people from achieving a level of educetion to even apply to med school.
Meanwhile, white people have entry rates as expected for their proportion of the general population, and asian applicants have entry rates twice what you would expect: 12% of the population is taking 22% of the seats.
These numbers are American, but thats also the country where "diversity quotas" are an issue.
