Everyone experiences some sort of racism in their life time. Anyone can look at empirical data or objective facts that can be backed and can come up with an informed opinion. You can't dismiss others' opinions because they're not brown enough. That in and of itself is racist.

Anecdotal experiences or heresay can't be used as proof of something like systemic racism or large scale racism because it's not objective. 

I didn't dismiss his conclusion because he's not brown but because he's not subject to the systematic racism he claims doesn't exist.  It's the lack of experience, not the lack of color.

And yes, anecdotes are admissible as they are they are relevant to the issue.  They are needed to realize the systemic nature of it all.

You did exactly that. He's not brown therefore he can't experience the so called systematic racism that you claim exists therefore his opinion doesn't matter. You're wrong on that and it's a bit racist.

If it's systematic then it can be proven with actual data and verifiable facts rather than with bogus anecdotes. This is not a joking or casual matter. You have show actual proof to claim something like that.
