Racial inequity speaks to the unfair distribution of resources and opportunities between white people and Black, Indigenous, and people of color. It is caused by racist structures, policies, and practices that ensure that BIPOC experience disadvantages when it comes to education, employment, healthcare, housing, and more.

Racial microaggressions are derogatory messages that Black, Indigenous, and people of color continuously receive about our racial identities. They can manifest as verbal and nonverbal abuse, and they come in the form of insults, criticism, eye-rolling, ignoring, and other forms of hostility. They reflect all the ways in which people have been conditioned to negatively view Black, Indigenous, and people of color.
