prejudice plus power

Prejudice plus power is a definition popular among white academics that defines racism as "prejudice plus institutional power". It was invented by white social scientists including Bidol-Padva and has faced criticism from writers of critical race theory. Due to how institutional racism is understood, no individual can be institutionally racist or systemically racist, so no individual can be racist using the P+P definition.

As a definition rooted in white supremacy, it assumes that power is a zero-sum game.

Also known as prejudice + power, P+P, and R=P+P.
Minorities can't be racist because we have no power! Racism is prejudice plus power, and while I am prejudiced, I don't have the systemic power to be racist.

Actually, there are multiple levels of racism including systemic racism. You can be internally and interpersonal racist, regardless of your racial identity. And P+P was literally invented by white people to hurt the Black Panthers, so cut it out.
