Systematic racism is defined as racism that is embedded into a system created by society. A minority is group of POC with a smaller population in an area with a large white population. Systematic racism can result in minorities becoming targeted by law enforcement officers due to racial stereotypes. For example, one may stereotype a POC as a ‘criminal’ due to the racism that has been embedded into society to view POC as wrong-doers. Not only does systematic racism enforce wrongful stereotypes, but it also prevents minorities from receiving healthcare (especially immigrants).
