The kind of exclusion that is not tangible, or expressed in words. Its institutionalised and inherent in cultural/social norms. It may not be immediately obvious and sometimes subconscious. Sometimes it can be more to do with how something was said and not actually what was said.
Invisible Exclusion:

“The kind of exclusion that not tangible, or expressed in words - Getting turned down for a job application although you qualify and give a good interview and being told you are not suitable”

Or

“The exclusion of people that isn't immediately obvious (but kind of is) - "Well of course we're not selectively not-hiring people from Ballymun, they just don't have the qualifications." "I don't dislike him because he's black, he's just oversensitive about all my racist jokes" "I don't hate her because she's a bender, I just don't want her being gay all over my personal space etc.”
