While institutionalized racism affects many different groups, black people faced slavery, Jim Crow, and heavy resistance to the civil rights movement by both the government and communites. These did not only affect black people, but did disproportionately target them over others. The history and scale of institutionalized racism against black people in the US is just massive, despite the horrible treatment of other ethnic groups, and so the organizations fighting for their civil rights are more prevalent.

Now this bring up the second question. How come these groups are not more mainstream?
