racismo sistemático
Scope note: Procesos de racismo que están integrados en las leyes (locales, estatales y federales), las políticas y las prácticas de la sociedad y de sus instituciones que ofrecen ventajas a los grupos raciales considerados superiores, mientras que oprimen, desfavorecen o de otra forma descuidan de manera diferencial a los grupos raciales considerados inferiores. Acceso diferencial a los bienes, servicios y oportunidades de la sociedad por la raza. El racismo institucionalizado es normativo, a veces está legalizado y, a menudo, se manifiesta como una desventaja heredada. Es estructural, estando codificado en nuestras instituciones de costumbres, prácticas y leyes, por lo que no es necesario que haya un perpetrador identificable.

Scope note: Processes of racism that are embedded in laws (local, state, and federal), policies, and practices of society and its institutions that provide advantages to racial groups deemed as superior, while differentially oppressing, disadvantaging, or otherwise neglecting racial groups viewed as inferior. Differential access to the goods, services, and opportunities of society by race. Institutionalized racism is normative, sometimes legalized, and often manifests as inherited disadvantage. It is structural, having been codified in our institutions of custom, practice, and law, so there need not be an identifiable perpetrator. (ttps://www.cdc.gov/chronicdisease/programs‐impact/sdoh.htm)
