Operative word is "had"...almost half a century ago. History is important and should be studied - bit it is also history.
As for the outcomes you mentioned. They are just that: outcomes. "System racism" is one possible explanation for those outcomes, but not the only explanation. I don't think it is the most likely explanation. Again: many people are racist against FN peoples, but I don't have good evidence to suggest the outcomes are the result of it being "systemic racism". History is littered with such improper logic, and regularly in a religious context.
