What is systemic oppression?
Basically racism for everyone no matter the race and sexism no matter the sex. It's real fun. Ask John why.
Person A: Can I get some candy?
Person B: Sorry you just going to sell it with cocaine in it.
Person A: Is it because I'm of spanish decent and a male that I have cocaine in my back pocket? That's systemic oppression!

Systemic oppression - what is it?
Oppression that occurs at the institutional level, such as in government policy-making, within educational institutions and the throughout the health care system. While one-on-one experiences of discrimination might stand out more in our minds, systemic oppression is even farther-reaching because it is coded right into the institutions we depend on to survive.
"Bathroom bills" passed in various states are an example of the systemic oppression of transgender people.
