Question

What's the difference between interpersonal and institutional bias?

Answer 1

INSTITUTIONAL RACISM: Institutions and social dynamics (governmental organizations, schools, and courts of law)- that seem race neutral but actually disadvantage racially marginalized groups and privilege whites.

INTERPERSONAL RACISM: This form of racism is manifested in everyday interactions and practices and often unintentional. Since we live in a society structured by racial domination, we develop racialized dispositions that guide our thoughts and behaviors.

institutional racism is institutions and social dynamics that appear neutral but actually disadvantage racially marginalized group, and interpersonal is everyday racism that is often unintentional

Answer 2

Interpersonal racism (personally mediated) occurs between individuals. This is the bias that occurs when individuals interact with others and their personal racial beliefs affect their public interactions. Institutional racism occurs within institutions and systems of power.
