A minority (subordinate) is a group that is discriminated against by a majority (dominant group). It is often confused that a minority is simply a group that is smaller in population than a majority, but the opposite can be true. Someone can be in a minority based on language, skin color, high in-race marriage, being discriminated against, and being put in a group against your will.

Implicit Racism

The idea of a certain skin color being called "skin color" and the other one not is inherently racist.

In an article about yellow face in Hollywood, the harmful stereotypes about Asian people that are represented in Hollywood are discussed. Along with that, the use of white actors in shows or movies about Asian people is criticized.

Hollywood goes again Arab and Muslim cultures and how they misrepresent how and why they wear hijabs.

Fat Blue Line

The discrimination the cops show in questioning Cleveland further despite the explanation is discriminatory. It sucks that cops make other cops look worse by doing these discriminatory actions rather than their jobs

Racism perpetuated by social institutions such as schools, government, military, or police

The Story of Cory Booker's House: The house wasn't sold to Cory's parents because of their race, they had white people bid on their behalf and it was sold to them. When the father showed up, they attacked him and his lawyer but the deal on the house still went through. The house built wealth tremendously and made Cory's life way easier than it could have been.

Racism in Healthcare: Latin Americans were twice as likely to die from Covid 19, they were less likely to receive treatment. It was also found that People of Color were less likely to get treatment for many ailments and diseases.
