Fryberg’s research on omission types of prejudice is an important aspect of the way one group can overpower another group and, in so doing, keep them under the thumb of the powerful group by keeping the less powerful group out of the consciousness of society. 👉️ It is important to recognize this type of prejudice and call it out whenever you see it.

🧵 3/3 "A common misconception about racism is that it involves a few bad apples who engage in racist thoughts and behaviours. This is not true, because imperfectly good people can commit acts of omission that allow individual racists to survive and even thrive in organizations. Imperfectly good people can also consciously or unconsciously enable systems to create and perpetuate policies and practices that work to the advantage of some groups and to the disadvantage of others." #Racism ##BIPOC #HumanRights #SocialMedia #RacismByOmission #Fediverse #Mastodom #Vivaldi https://www.chrc-ccdp.gc.ca/resources/publications/discussion-paper-systemic-racism
