What is the process of racialization?

i'll show you what to do against
racism the benefits of living in a
society without racism
and how to commit to being anti-racist
come let's begin
number one what is race
the concept of race is often linked to a
person's physical characteristics such
as
skin color nose shape
eye shape hair texture
and others
however race does not exist
you heard that right race does not
exist many scientists have
shown that classification by race has no
legitimate biological basis
there is only the human race you see
we're really all one why is rey still
talked about
we talk about race because people
attribute traits and characteristics to
people based on how they perceive them
because of the color of their skin
giving meaning to biological
characteristics to identify people
is to assign them to a general category
of people or groups
this is called the process of
racialization
number two racialization
racialization is the process of the
social construction of race
that allows for the domination of one
group over another
whereby societies view races as
different
and unequal socially economically
and politically the process of
racialization
is therefore intended to differentiate
inferiorize
and exclude those who are considered
non-white
it should be noted that the process of
racialization
usually excludes white people at least
in canada
whites are considered the norm the
reference
the universal representation of all
humanity
while non-whites are perceived as
different
exceptions particularities number three
racism what is racism racism is defined
as a form of prejudice that includes
implicit or explicit beliefs false
assumptions and
ideologies of superiority towards one
racial group over another
racism can be explicit or implicit
meaning that it can be manifested either
directly
or indirectly examples of explicit
racism are
racist comments threats of physical
violence
and actual violence against a racialized
person
and racist cyber bullying through
information technology
and social networks like facebook
and racist websites
implicit racism are racial
microaggressions
they are brief verbal or nonverbal
behavioral
and environmental everyday indignities
that may appear trivial
intentional or unintentional which
communicate
racially hostile derogatory or negative
insults and remarks
to the target person or group
although these racist behaviors are
subtle in nature
they are just as painful for the person
experiencing them
especially as it is difficult to prove
them
have you heard any of these statements i
get them all the time
where are you from i'm not racist
because i have black friends
everyone can succeed if they work hard
by the way
in case you're wondering i'm from
halifax
number four individual or interpersonal
racism
interpersonal racism occurs when our
racist beliefs
assumptions and behaviors whether
implicit or explicit
are embedded in interpersonal
interactions
examples of interpersonal racism include
threats
and harassment social exclusion
stigmatization and unfair treatment
one of the most common examples of
interpersonal racism
is the fact that some white students
exclude black students from their work
groups
either because they do not want to work
with them because of their skin color
or because they think they are less
intelligent
another very common example of
interpersonal racism
is that of white parents implicitly or
explicitly
refusing to allow their children to go
out with black
youth number five
institutional racism institutional
racism takes place within institutions
including
schools governments and religious
institutes it is policies and practices
which claim that all races are treated
equally and see
equal outcomes while racialized people
are consistently oppressed
and disadvantaged by these policies and
practices
number six systemic or structural
racism structural or systemic racism
involves racial bias across institutions
including public and private policies
institutional practices
and cultural representations among
others
it reinforces the unequal treatment of
racial groups by
systematically privileging the majority
racial group
and presenting disadvantages for
minority racial groups
for example in canada despite efforts
for change
the school curriculum is still designed
for white
middle-class students this is evident in
history classes
for example which explore canadian
history from a white perspective
and failed to give a voice to racial
minority groups who also have a place in
history
including indigenous people you know
what i'm talking about
number seven internalized racism
internalized racism
is generally defined as the acceptance
and integration of negative beliefs
prejudices and stereotypes about one's
own abilities and values by
individuals of a racial group into a
dominant racial group
internalized racism occurs when people
who are victims of racism
themselves adopt beliefs and behaviors
which support the racism
they experience an example is thinking
hey maybe i am not good enough
it is a major consequence of living in a
racist society
and experiencing racism as a result of
listening to racist comments
ideas and thoughts and having racist
experiences
some racialized people end up adhering
to the racist views of the dominant
group for example a manager or team
leader
who is a member of racialized
communities refuses to give rewarding
tasks to another racialized person
because they have internalized several
social prejudices
about racialized communities
number eight racial profiling
racial profiling occurs when an
authoritarian figure
attributes criminal intent and or acts
on stereotypical assumptions based on an
individual's race
color ethnicity and other identity
markers
examples of racial profiling are a
police officer
who assumes that a person is prone to
offending behavior
because he or she is black or indigenous
or a shop clerk who tells a group of
black youth they cannot enter the shop
at the same time
but allows a group of white youth in
number 9 prejudices
a prejudice is a false or unwarranted
and
often negative opinion or attitude
towards a person or group because they
are different
an example is perceiving a person as
inferior to themselves because of their
race
a prominent example is a black woman who
walks into a shop
and is nicely told ma'am i think this
shop is too expensive for you
i recommend that you go to another shop
where the prices
are more affordable
number 10 racial bias
a bias is an inclination of temperament
or
perspective often a judgment or opinion
bias can be defined as a favorable or
unfavorable
prejudice to one group or person over
another
and is often seen as unfair implicit
biases are biases which are
unintentionally activated without the
individual's awareness or intentional
control
our implicit biases tend to be more
favorable toward our own ethnic group
and are difficult to access through
introspection
most individuals have implicit racial
biases
that stinks
number 11 white privilege and white
supremacy
white supremacy is the belief that
humans of white races or paler
complexion
are superior to humans belonging to
other racial groups
as early as the 19th century we can find
several writings defending this
superiority
based on studies with scientific
pretensions
this ideology is often associated with
violent groups or organizations such as
those racists called the klu klux klan
and others like them today studies tend
to talk about
white privilege white people have more
advantages in society because of the
color of their skin
these advantages are invisible to those
who benefit from them
even though these facts were reported
more than 30 years ago
these benefits still exist without the
people who have them
really becoming aware of them because
over time they have become a given
examples of white privilege are to be
widely represented with political power
to be assured that the story represents
my group in a majority and positive way
not to be accused of living in a ghetto
when you live mainly with whites
to easily find posters picture books
dolls or children's magazines
representing your group
not to undergo an identity check by the
police for no apparent reason
not having to speak or justify yourself
on behalf of all members of your group
feeling welcome and normal in most
situations related to public
institutional and social life so now you
know
what racism is all about
