institutional racism
Institutional racism refers to the policies and practices within organizations and institutions that, intentionally or unintentionally, result in unequal treatment of individuals based on their race. This can manifest in various areas, such as education, healthcare, and employment, where systemic barriers disadvantage certain racial groups while privileging others.
For example, in the education system, students from marginalized racial backgrounds may receive fewer resources or support compared to their peers. This unequal access can hinder their academic success and perpetuate cycles of disadvantage, illustrating how institutional racism can have long-lasting effects on communities.
