Well, for one thing, politics tends to occur within state, county, and city boundaries. Labor laws, minimum wage, taxes, and welfare programs all tend to be controlled at the state level, and these all contribute immensely to institutional racism. A higher minimum wage means that women and minorities have a higher standard of living. Lax labor law enforcement empowers (usually white, upper-middle-class) business owners to steal from (usually poorer, usually less-educated, often minority) employees. While cultural attitudes tend to shift gradually across geography, without specific regard to political borders, laws have hard-and-fast borders at the state level, and attitudes towards enforcing those laws tend to shift at county and state borders.
