organisation, or institution result in
inequitable treatment, opportunities,
and outcomes. Systemic racism relates
to entire systems e.g. legal, health, and
criminal justice, including the structures
that uphold racism. Institutional and
structural racism are both forms of
systemic racism. Extend your learning.
Institutional Racism
Institutional racism is used to draw
attention to the systemic conditions that
produce individual racist actions and
attitudes (Carmichael & Hamilton, 1969).
It counters the ‘few bad apples’ thesis, the
idea of racism as the actions or beliefs
of ignorant or pathological individuals.
Instead, the institution is shown to produce
and abet these attitudes and behaviours.
Nevertheless, the call for
institutions to admit to
institutional racism can lead
to situations in which racism is
defined in a top-down manner
rather than by those
experiencing it (Ahmed, 2012).
Racialisation
Racialisation refers to the processes
through which a person, a group of
people, or a context, situation or issue is
made to be ‘about race’ (Murji & Solomos,
2005). Racialisation infers a relationship
between, for example, Indigenous and
non-Indigenous, white and non-white,
coloniser and colonised (Fanon &
Markmann, 1967). Groups can be either
positively or negatively racialised.
