Racism in any society is fuelled by a number of factors, often acting independently of each other, or, at times, in concert with each other. On the one hand, anti-racism efforts rely on the alignment of four “system conditions” to stand a chance of successfully engaging and tackling racism. On the other hand, where these “system conditions” are not present, or where they are not in sync, this leads to “system failure”—a situation where racism is writ large in society and in the institutions therein, and where anti-racism efforts are severely hampered. Drawing on evidence from within the education sector and elsewhere in UK society, this paper examines how a lack of alignment between “system conditions” hampers antiracism efforts, and simultaneously reinforces racism in society and in institutions—leading to gridlock or “system failure” around anti-racism.

英国的“系统状况”，系统故障，结构性种族主义和反种族主义：来自教育和其他方面的证据

在任何社会中，种族主义都是由多种因素推动的，这些因素通常彼此独立或有时相互配合。一方面，反种族主义的努力依赖于四个“系统条件”的统一，才有可能成功地参与和解决种族主义。另一方面，在不存在这些“系统条件”或它们不同步的情况下，这会导致“系统故障”，这种情况是种族主义在社会和其中的机构中普遍存在，并且种族主义的努力受到严重阻碍。本文利用来自教育界和英国社会其他地方的证据，研究了“系统条件”之间缺乏统一的情况如何阻碍反种族主义的努力，
