“Institutional racism” in politics refers to systemic policies and practices within institutions that result in unequal treatment and outcomes for individuals based on their race. This form of racism is often embedded in laws, regulations, and cultural norms, perpetuating discrimination and disparities in areas such as education, employment, and criminal justice. Institutional racism can be subtle and pervasive, often functioning without overt intent, making it difficult to eradicate. Addressing these issues requires comprehensive reforms and awareness-raising efforts to bring about equitable treatment and empower marginalized communities within the political process.
