Racial Stratification: Cultural Differentiation Cultural differentiation
The greater and more visible the cultural distinctions, the more likely there is to be conflict Ethnocentrism & Individual Racism
White Privilege: one’s culture and social advantage in society is seen as “normal” and objective “Others” must assimilate “As a white person, I realized I had been taught about
racism as something that puts others at a disadvantage, but had been taught not to see one of its corollary aspects, white privilege, which puts me at an advantage.”

Understanding Privilege
Structures of privilege are often invisible to us “I was taught to see racism only in individual acts
of meanness, not in invisible systems conferring dominance on my group”
Individuals with privilege are not responsible for the circumstances that brought them privilege, but they are responsible for how they respond to it

Racial Stratification: Structural differentiation Institutional Racism: unchallenged and
customary way of doing things in society that keep minority groups in subordinate or disadvantaged positions Unequal Opportunity Structure
Social structure can encourage or reduce inequality among racial and ethnic groups
