Discuss gendered racism.

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary. Gendered racism refers to the overlapping and cumulative effects of inequality due to racism and sexism. Many white women encounter discrimination on a daily basis. Minority women, however, are also members of a racial-ethnic group, bringing them a double dose of inequality. If social class is included, some minority women experience triple oppression. Many affluent women, in particular, have no qualms about exploiting recent immigrants, especially Latinas, who perform demanding housework at very low wages.
