Most Caucasians look at white privilege and institutional racism as the past, and they are painfully unaware of how it still exists today. Peggy McIntosh took a deeper look into this in her article “White Privilege: The Invisible Knapsack.” In this article she lists many basic privileges that white people experience, many being basic rights that many would never think of. White privilege and institutional racism has managed to sneak its way into this time period, practically going unnoticed by white

Impact of Institutional Racism and Implicit bias on Education Why are minority students not performing on the same level as their white counterparts? This is a question that has been posed over the last four decades. Some believe that this poor performance is a result of institutional racism; others believe that students of color underperform due to lack of intelligence or cultural differences. So, which is it? If as a nation we believe that institutional racism is not an issue, then how do we explain
reported high levels of racism in their lives (Paradies and Cunningham, 2009, Paradies, Y., Harris, R., & Anderson, I., 2008 and Ziersch, A., Gallahera, G., Bauma & Bentleya, M, 2011) but the main focus here is on institutional racism and the effects it has on the health and wellbeing of Indigenous Australians.

Institutional racism is when social institutions give negative treatment to people of a certain ethnicity, which in effect leads to inequalities. The UN (2015) states that only 15% of New Zealand’s population are Māori, and yet Māori make up over 50% of the prison population. The racism in the justice system means that people are being prosecuted based on the colour of their skin. With criminal behaviour connected with Māori, this leads to marginalisation, alienation and racism in other forms of
Bigger as a Black Everyman in Native Son The life of Bigger Thomas in Richard Wright's Native Son is not one with which most of us can relate. It is marked by excessive violence, oppression, and a lack of hope for the future. Despite this difference from my own life and the lives of my privileged classmates, I would argue that Bigger's experience is somewhat universal, His is not a unique, individual experience, but rather one that is representative of the world of a young black man. If Bigger

As an ism, ageism reflects a prejudice in society against older adults. The victims of bigotry and prejudice
would almost certainly destabilize the fragile Union and could result in the liberation of millions of black slaves, who would then migrate northward.? From this quote one can already see two key elements: the idea of slavery as an institutional wrong, and the racism on the part of Northerners. This demonstrates why this war was so hard to explain. If Northerner?s wanted slavery abolished, but were still fearful of coinciding with blacks as freedmen, then why did Northerners choose to fight the
