The term racism is applied in many areas of a society that perpetuates discrimination on the basis of race, or strengthens racial inequalities in education, health care, income, and civil rights. Showing that you care about other people’s well being, that you are an ally in promoting inclusion and equity are some great actions you can take to help overcome the consequences of racism. It starts with awareness. Just because racism doesn’t happen among people you know, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Passive racism is probably the most insidious factor that contributes to the ongoing problem.
