Internalized racism is the belief among historically oppressed people that stereotypes about themselves are true.
Black and Latino/a then follow through with this subjugation based on the ideology that the oppressor has stereotypically positive qualities and they themselves are not equal or inferior. Black and Latino/as would also suppress their own identities and cultures to conform to Eurocentric standards.
