What exactly is institutional racism in the context of a college campus?

If there was ever a thread perfect for Strong Safety this is it

It's when you don't feel like answering the professor's questions in front of your peers because if you're wrong you'll appear stupid.

It's racism that they can't prove exists but know it does.

And if you don't know it does, you get to resign.

Institutional racism is assuming that your grades suck because your professor is racist rather than because you are a dumbass.

Institutional racism is thinking that police target you because you're a minority and not because you're a d&%k to them, do illegal shite, and then resist arrest.

Institutional racism is thinking that anyone who is rude to you does so because they're racist, and not because this world happens to be filled with douche-canoes.

Institutional racism is assuming that white chicks won't date you because they're racist, and not because you're a poor, unattractive, whiny prick.

Institutional racism is being raised in a two parent household.

Institutional racism is assuming that you're excluded from the fraternity system when you never even tried rushing in the first place.

Institutional racism is thinking that frat didn't pick you because you're a minority, and not because you were a stuck-up, holier-than-though arse hole.

Institutional racism is believing that the classic adage "play stupid games win stupid prizes" shouldn't apply to you because you're a minority.

Institutional racism is believing that you are entitled to special treatment in the name of "equality".

Institutional privilege. It's when the pohhhlice be frontin' with homeboys on college campuses before they check their police privilege.

Great question. Here's some examples:

Opposing public school funding is not necessarily an act of individual racism; one can certainly oppose public school funding for valid, non-racist reasons. But to the extent that opposing public school funding has a disproportionate and detrimental effect on minority youth, it furthers the agenda of institutional racism.

Most other positions contrary to the civil rights agenda--opposition to affirmative action, support for racial profiling, and so forth--also have the (often unintended) effect of sustaining institutional racism.

Basically, if any group, business, institution does not hire, honor or lavishly award a black person at every opportunity possible, it's institutionally racist. That is the case even if ALL logical conclusions suggest otherwise

If you don't know then you're part of the problem. You need to do some research instead of demanding that others inform you.

Institutional racism in university is the process of disallowing a race or making it more burdensome for one race or set of people to gain admission or a diplomat than it is for another set of people.

This does not happen anymore in this country as far as I can tell unless you're talking about historical black colleges, like Xavier in New Orleans, making it much harder for white people to get in.

In fact, it is usually easier to get scholarships and admission based solely on the fact that you're a minority. Often, minorities are given preferential treatment, however, this is not considered institutional racism because most of our laws are not written to create equality among everyone, but rather to protect a "minority" whether it be race, age, religion, sex, whatever.

That's why, for the PSAT for instance, you have to have a much lower score to earn the title national merit semifinalist if you're black that if you're white, which is absurd, because that it literally the government mandating that back people aren't as intelligent.

NONE

It's an elaborate hoax perpetrated by the student body

""

1) The poopswastika (turns out to be a hoax)

2) The study body president's claim of racial slurs (totally fabricated by the same guy who fabricated the KKK claim)

3) The hunger striker (who turns out to be the son of a black man who earned almost $7 million last year, thereby totally disproving the idea that black people can't achieve success in America)
