Subtle racism DOES exist. When I was in the nightlife business, a life-world ago, clubs paid a promoter friend $5 per head to bring in patrons. NO club - not one: white, Black, Hispanic - would pay for fighting-age males of their non-primary race, and this hit POC the hardest.
(2) The real question is how much impact this sort of thing - which is what probably 90% of good Sociological studies focus on finding - has in the real world, where it is countered by less-often-studied affirmative action, majority non-racism, and MINORITY group preferences.
(3) My take, looking at U.S. group income and education data is: not much. Many/most of the most successful groups in the USA (Indians, E. Asians, Nigerians) are POC, and even W/B gaps largely collapse after basic adjustments for things like age, region, and test scores.
(4) This also gets into the awkward terrain of "rational discrimination." No club, so far as I know, objects to pretty Black or Asian WOMEN - or white blondes, on the POC side. Is the ONLY reason to hesitate before mixing 100 white soldiers into a tough Latin club "racism?"
