"Systemic discrimination "means practices or attitudes that have, whether by design or impact, the effect of limiting an individual`s or a group`s right to the opportunities generally available because of attributed rather than actual characteristics.... It is not a question of whether this discrimination is motivated by an intentional desire to obstruct someone's potential, or whether it is the accidental bi- product of innocently motivated practices or systems.
