Arrange the following elements of institutional racism in the order they typically manifest within an institution's policies and practices: A) Systemic inequities are perpetuated, B) Minority groups face disadvantages, C) Societal structures are identified as problematic, D) Policies are enacted that uphold racial inequalities.

Institutional racism often starts with identifying societal structures as problematic, which is represented by the third step, C. Once these issues are recognized, policies are enacted that uphold racial inequalities, shown as step D. These policies then lead to minority groups facing disadvantages, which is step B, as they are often designed in ways that do not support equity. Finally, systemic inequities are perpetuated, represented by step A, because the cycle continues as these disadvantages become ingrained in the institution's practices. For example, if a school has policies that unfairly discipline students of color more harshly, this creates disadvantages for those students and reinforces existing inequalities.
