• Why do we continue to have racism if so few people identify as racist?
• Answer = structural racism– The structure of our society is such that people can be wildly
disadvantaged without others even noticing
• This doesn’t have to be a conscious effort– Racial motivations aren’t necessary to end up with
racist results• Certain racial groups are still the most
disadvantaged, whether intentionally or not• So…what do we do about this?• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3cGfrExozQ
