The UK government's report on racism in Britain cited old scholarship which didn't figure on structural racism, rather than newer scholarship which does.

The idea of using health disparities between groups to measure the net effects of racism surprised me. In principle, racism's injustices are not limited to worse health and shorter life span. Bigotry is wrong even if it does not shorten your life, and it can do you harm in ways that don't make you physically sick.

But the author suggests that the varied wrongs of racism tend to manifest themselves in the form of worse health, visible in medical statistics — and that this provides an objective way to measure the level of harm caused by racism within any given population. That is very interesting.
