#1 Racism is when you discriminate against someone based on their race, creed, or color. It is not limited to race, and it is always rooted in power.

#2 Racism is the assertion of superiority in order to discriminate. It is the defense of unequal treatment based on the perceived idea of race. It is a fairly modern idea that came to full realization in the Western Hemisphere to justify the enslavement of African people and the theft of land from indigenous peoples.

#3 Because racism is so ingrained in American society, it is often ignored or denied. It is difficult for certain groups of people to get loans from banks, and they are charged higher interest rates.

#4 Many people think of racism only in individual terms, rather than as a system of oppression. But the definition of systemic racism is based on the research of sociologist Joe Feagin, who concluded that the United States was founded as a racist society and that racism remains at the core of American experience.
