Understanding Institutionalized Racism Concepts

The video tutorial by Alex, a tutor at CH Tutors and a junior at Yale University, explores the concept of institutionalized racism, focusing on its explicit and implicit forms. Explicit institutionalized racism includes historical examples like the Chinese Exclusion Act and Jim Crow laws, which overtly targeted racial minorities. Implicit institutionalized racism, such as mass incarceration and SB1070, affects minorities without explicitly naming them. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding these forms to dismantle them and promote equality.
