Concept information

Preferred term

unintentional racism  

Definition

  • Some claim that racism is best defined by outcome: In other words, racism occurs when racial or ethnic minorities experience discrimination or other forms of injustice. The problem with this definition is that not all the discrimination experienced by racial or ethnic minorities necessarily falls into the category of racism.
