	Institutional racism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Institutional racism (or structural racism) is a form of racism that occurs in institutions such as public bodies and corporations, including universities.
		Institutional racism is distinguished from the bigotry or racial bias of individuals by the existence of systemic, pervasive and habitual policies and practices that have the effect of disadvantaging certain racial or ethnic groups.
		Institutional racism is often functionally integrated; that is, the disparate elements of racism and bigotry in institutional racism function in an integrated manner, as part of a gestalt.

		Institutionalized racism, characterized by restricted access to well-paying jobs, safe housing, and high-quality health care, is the third classification, and potentially the most profound.
		The analogy to institutionalized racism arises from the flowers being contained in separate boxes, and it is perpetuated by the gardener failing to fertilize or mix the soil.
		Internalized racism results when the pink flowers, realizing they are all scraggly, say to the bee, "Don't bring me any of that substandard pink pollen, bring me the high-quality red pollen," believing that there is something inherently bad about their own kind.

		HAVANA, December (www.cubanet.org) - The assertion of specialists from the Center for Anthropology, an office of the Ministry of Science, Technology and the Environment, that institutionalized racism existed in Cuba prior to 1959, contrasts with the reality that involves the fl population in Cuba today.
		In a report published by the Miami newspaper El Nuevo Herald, the Cuban investigators emphasize that after 1959, racism was eradicated from institutions, a point of view that is contradicted by data which the same center offers relative to the percentage of fls working in the tourist industry today.

		The racism content was based on Gaertner and Dovidio’s (1986) distinction between aversive racism and old-fashioned, or blatant, racism.
		Whereas old-fashioned racism is characterized by overt hatred for African-Americans or other minorities, aversive racism is thought to be characterized by more complex, ambivalent racial attitudes of white Americans, as detailed in the handout.
		The concept of institutionalized racism describes the situation where an organization or institution has policies that discriminate against a group even though the policies are not usually directed at such groups.

	A Working Definition of Racism
		Racism is one consequence of a self-perpetuating imbalance in economic, political and social power.
		Racism exists as a whole series of attitudes, assumptions, feelings and beliefs about people of color and their cultures which are a mixture of misinformation, fear and ignorance.
		Racism makes us suppose that current injustices are 'natural', or at best, inevitable: "someone has to be unemployed; someone has to go hungry." Most importantly, racism distorts our perceptions of the possibilities for change; it makes us abandon our visions of solidarity; it robs us of our dreams of community.

	Institutional Racism Still Oppresses
		Orthodox racism is defined as any theory or belief that a person’s inherited physical characteristics, such as skin color, hair texture or facial features, determine human intellectual capacity and personality traits.
		Institutionalized racism lingers within organizations and is far more difficult to ferret out.
		In many ways these institutional manifestations of racism, in our electoral political institutions and the justice system, present a greater challenge for society to overcome than individual acts of racism.

	What Is Racism? essay by Anitra Freeman
		A more universal definition of racism is "Prejudice or discrimination by one group toward others perceived as a different 'race', plus the power to enforce it." Groups may be almost identical physiologically, yet be divided against each other on the basis of culture, language, religion, nationality, or any combination of the above.
		While racism has ancient and complex historical roots, there is also evidence that anti-racism is not solely a product of "modern enlightenment." Human history does not show every human group holding itself aloof from every other group in all ways and at all times.
		After admitting that racism is a powerful force that has made our lives uncontrollable and that we cannot combat it alone, we must become conscious of our own moral failings (racist assumptions and behaviors) and the harm we have done others, and make amends.

	Cronaca: More overt Japanese racism
		The problem with the concept of racism is that as it is identified in modern society, it criticizes truthful opinions, rather than malice, or at least often makes no distinction between the two.
		Lastly, the viciousness with which people are accused of racism and shunned accordingly is so a) calculating, b) enjoyed and c) pursued incessantly by its progenitors that it possesses all the hallmarks of the fl and white thinking of so-called racists.
		Racism is apparent in everything in Japan, from the belief that they are the only people in the world to use chopsticks to the instant forgiveness and celebrity status people of Japanese blood receive when returning to the homeland after their crimes overseas, such as Alberto Fujimori and Issei Sagawa, no matter how heinous

		Rather, the point in the very original question was if we could work together to end the very real racism in the gay community that takes the form of hateful comments, which I have heard directed towards others and myself, simply because whites in weho feel like the "colored folk" are encroaching on THEIR turf.
		Racism is definitely a problem sometimes, but it should not be thrown around so lightly.

		D'Souza dismisses institutionalized racism as "a nonsense phrase," accusing civil rights activists of "radicalizing the definition of racism to locate it in the very structures of the American workplace." His premise is not wrong.
		But ghettos are the ecological embodiment of racism, and this is true no matter what the attitudes, and no matter what the melanin, of the politicians, bankers, police, social workers, teachers, and employers who are implicated in their production and reproduction.
		Having implicitly denied the existence of "institutionalized racism," and having given credence to the idea that a culture-of-poverty (by whatever name) exists in the ghettos across America, Wilson is positioned to embrace another of D'Souza's theoretical assumptions: rational discrimination.

		Their daughter Kelly passed every measure for acceptance except one: her skin color was too white.(1) Kelly's request for the transfer was unanimously denied by the Montgomery County Board of Education on grounds that allowing her to leave would upset the racial quota at Strathmore Elementary, where the white-student count was too low.

		From this, Bonilla-Silva derives an aberration called "colorblind racism." He is attacking Dr. Martin Luther King's philosophy of judging people based on the content of their character rather than on the color of their skin.
		However, it is an evil idea that innocent generations, born far after slavery, Jim Crow, and the riots of the 1960s, be used as fuel for fire of social destruction.
		Racism will continue as long as new generations of all colors are chained to the institutionalized forms of racism and racial propaganda from charlatans such as Bonilla-Silva.
