The statement is part of a broader discussion on systemic racism and its legal aspects, specifically in the context of mortgage lending and redlining. The tone is critical and somewhat dismissive, questioning the understanding of systemic racism as merely a legal issue. The intent seems to be to challenge the oversimplification of systemic racism and to provoke deeper thought on the issue.
