How would one distinguish between perceived -isms (racism, sexism etc.), and real -isms? Are discrimination and prejudice quantifiable?

Some people will say things like, “This city is the most racist…”. So many different people have had so many different experiences with with types of discrimination from the subtle to the outright violent. Is there a way to quantify something so elusive and dependent on subjectivity? One person could go through something that 5 people say was discrimination, and another 5 say was innocuous.

It’s difficult to fully explain what I mean, so i hope you understand. I will do my best to explain more after I see some answers.
