Describe the differences between individual racism and institutional racism

What will be an ideal response?


Individual racism is the prejudicial belief that one's ethnic or racial group is superior to others. An obvious feature of racism in the United States "is that many whites see themselves as better than persons and groups of color, and as a result exercise their power to prevent people of color from securing the prestige, power, and privilege held by them" (Gollnick & Chinn, 2009, p. 63). Institutional racism occurs when institutions "behave in ways that are overtly racist (i.e., specifically excluding people-of-color from services) or inherently racist (i.e., adopting policies that while not specifically directed at excluding people-of-color, nevertheless result in their exclusion)"
