The instances where minorities have had truly appalling treatment in hospitals are shameful, while others have been the victims of racial profiling. No matter the examples, racism has been around for hundreds of years and should be removed from society entirely, like the cancer it is.…
When studying issues of institutional racism, a primary discussion question is: Is this institution currently racist? A follow up question would be: Did the racism stem from someone with racial attitudes and beliefs? The institution could have been managed by a racist leader who then hypothetically retired or passed away, so is the institution still racist? In most cases, the answer is “yes” because the institution was formed on racial biases, policies and so on, which still have an effect on people of color today. There are many institutions, police department included, that are formed on such racial biases.…
In John Hoberman’s Black and Blue: The Origins and Consequences of Medical Racism, the author discusses the predisposed racial thinking in the medical profession and how it affects the medical treatment received by African Americans.

Sherman (2000) also argued that modern racism has progressed from belligerent, harmful behavior to a more subtle variety. This attitude is more difficult to understand, yet is seen more harmful because it is concealed in order to make it seem an acceptable social norm. Subtle and modern varieties of racism create an image that is more politically correct and socially acceptable. This method of discrimination may be considered to be a “polite” form of racial discrimination. “Previously, racism was easier to define and institutionalize (Brick, 2008). As Aronson, Wilson & Akert (2001) pointed out, the behavior of natives toward immigrants can be anticipated from the quantity of both blatant and subtle measures of bias. People who score high on the elusive racism scale (those who use racial discrimination in socially acceptable ways), but low on the blatant scale, tend to reject immigrants in more subtle and socially acceptable ways such as cultural differences, accent discrimination, language use or even discriminating against a person based on his/her appearance.…
Racial discrimination poses a large problem in the American workplace. While it is not as visible as it was in the 1960 's it is just as prevalent. It can happen at any stage of employment whether it be hiring, promotion, assignments, or termination. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 established the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

Minorities are the final group of workers who are less likely to find full time employment and must instead settle for part time precarious work. Where barriers beyond their control like “prison records, concentration in high-unemployment regions and lack of contacts in small-scale businesses, as well as below-average schooling” (Standing, 86).

Racism as a result has become a large factor contributing to minorities being forced to preform precarious work, as the above factors are the result of historic racisms created by ruling elites to remove what was considered an undesirable population out of the city (FIND QUOTE FROM SIMON…
