Structural racism refers to the totality of ways in which societies foster racial discrimination through mutually reinforcing systems of housing, education, employment, earnings, benefits, credit, media, health care and criminal justice. These patterns and practices in turn reinforce discriminatory beliefs, values and distribution of resources. Structural Racism….is pervasive, impacting different systems and sectors, and also making us color blind to white supremacy. Trainer explains how racism is embedded into our educational, health care, political and our health department systems, along with ways care givers and service providers can recognize and combat its impact on foster youth.
