Interpersonal racism is the most commonly experienced and therefore widely understood form of racism.
But there's a newly forming argument that this may be just a symptom of other forms of racism that are built within our society.
That is, institutional racism, a good example of this would be the "pay gap" between two people in the same occupational position of a company that is based on their race.
The other being structural racism, an example here would be a national school curriculum which is designed to teach history that relates only to one race in a diverse country.
These forms of racism are deeply embeded in the system and are hard to change.
As a result, those that benefit from the system are at a better position for success causing a very big gap between the haves and the have nots.
This is why we need to have these conversations, so we acknowledge these issues and find solutions as a society that benefit those in need and ultimately have everyone with the same level of opportunity to success.
Can you think of simple things we can start doing to empower each other as a society?
