Microaggression is a form of discrimination that is not intended.
Ethnic minorities in the West have faced various forms of discrimination, including racial profiling, hate crimes, unequal access to education and employment opportunities, and systemic racism in institutions such as law enforcement and housing. Additionally, they may experience microaggressions and stereotypes that perpetuate negative perceptions and hinder their social and economic advancement.
Covert racism refers to hidden or subtle forms of racial discrimination that are not easily identifiable or overt. It can manifest through unconscious biases, microaggressions, or systemic practices that perpetuate inequality and disadvantage certain racial groups. Covert racism is more insidious because it may be unintentional or denied by individuals or institutions, making it difficult to address and eradicate.
