The reading in your required module resources defines and describes institutional discrimination. For example, when an organization discriminates against an individual or a group, this is institutional discrimination. Some argue that brutality inflicted by police against African Americans is institutional discrimination. In your discussion this week, reflect on the inequalities you read about regarding race, ethnicity, and gender. In your initial post, think about the ways in which these inequities are institutionalized. Examine either a racial/ethnic group or a gender/sexual orientation group though the lens of institutionalized discrimination. Describe the types of discrimination and why it is institutionalized, and pose a reason for its existence. It helps to make a distinction between individual discrimination and structural, or institutionalized, discrimination.
