What are the problems caused by institutional racism?
Institutional racism is a cruel part of many societies. As opposed to individual racism, that is one person discriminating against another because of race, institutional racism has a larger scope. It can best be described by example. In a corporation it can be seen perhaps that all employees at the management level are of one race, say Caucasian as an example. Openings for jobs occur due to retirement, firing, or business expansion. Year after year, and instance one after another shows that only Caucasians receive management jobs. With good authority it can be said that the company will not let any other employees but Caucasians ones to get these jobs no matter who else applies for these positions. The company has a "unwritten" policy to not hire minorities to management jobs. Thus the racism is institutionalized.
I used Caucasian as an example however it can exist with any other race or ethnic background.

In your opinion does 'separate but equal' imply inferiority?
Opinion: No. The inference is not for inferiority. In practice, however, for example in racially-separate public schools, some schools were treated differently resulting in fewer high quality graduates.
Opinion: Yes, it can when set in motion but is not always the case.
For example, most public places around the US have separate restrooms for the men and women. It isn't to imply women are inferior to men or vice versa, but to protect the privacy of the different but equal genders.
However, when separating people by color, class, or likewise, it can be easier to see implied inferiority because of access to certain necessities the other side usually does not have.
With men and women, normally, both have running water and fully working plumbing within their restroom, give or take a few places with bad upkeep.
But with race, normally, one side's access to the proper tools and equipment to achieve their potential or get the best out of life is severely slanted or not in place at all.
Many reasons can be stated why such a thing would happen, but one of the most logical is that "their" side is seen as inferior and not worthy enough of what the "other side" has, so it simply is not given.
In that case, inferiority is indeed implied, and that would be especially easy for a person to see if they are on the so seen as "inferior" side.

Racial bigotry is a vicious crime that still occurs throughout the world.

I am a social worker and not an attorney.
This is a very big question, and impossible to answer fully. In the US, there are many laws that regulate how companies and service providers treat clients. You cannot deny goods or services to people based on race, religion, sex or sexual orientation, etc. The laws can be very complex, and there may be some differences if you are talking about private organizations rather than public companies. If you think you have been discriminated against, first contact the Grievance Officer of the company and explain what happened. If you are not satisfied, contact the police.
Most organizations will have well-written policies and procedures that help prevent discrimination, even though there are already many laws against it. Accredited organizations will usually have to meet standards of practice before they are accredited. So looking for accredited organizations is not required, but it is a good idea.
