All humans have prejudice; we cannot avoid it... Discrimination is action based on prejudice. .... When a racial group's collective prejudice is backed by the power of legal authority and institutional control, it is tranformed into racism, a far-reaching system that functions independently from the intentions of individual actors.
Racism - like sexism and other forms of oppression - occurs when a racial group's prejudice is backed by legal authority and institutional control.
