Which of the following statements accurately describe institutional racism? Select all that apply.

Institutional racism refers to the ways that organizations and systems create and maintain inequalities based on race. This can happen through laws, policies, or practices that may not seem racist but result in unfair treatment of certain racial groups. For example, if a school district has funding rules that favor schools in wealthier neighborhoods, students in poorer areas, often with more students of color, may receive less support and resources. This means that even if the rules are not explicitly about race, they can still lead to racial disparities in education and opportunities. Therefore, institutional racism is about how systems can disadvantage people based on their race, often without intentional discrimination.
