What is Institutional Racism?

Vernellia Randall, Professor of Law at the University of Dayton offers the following definition of institutional

racism (also known as systemmic or structural racism):

   structured into political and social institutions. It occurs when organisations,

   institutions or governments discriminate, either deliberately or indirectly,

   against certain groups of people to limit their rights."
