What is the impact of systematic racism on individuals, communities and society as a whole?
The impact of systemic racism on individuals, communities and society as a whole can be immense. On an individual level, systemic racism has been linked to psychological distress such as depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. This may affect one’s ability to succeed in school or at work due to lack of confidence or feeling overwhelmed by the challenges they face which further perpetuates unequal access to opportunities for racialized people (Mendelson et al., 2020).

Systemic racism also has far reaching effects on communities. For instance, it can lead to disparate access to quality education and healthcare services based on race which results in lower life expectancy rates among certain racial groups (Uzodinma & Ohiaeri, 2009). Moreover economic disparities can widen due to lack of employment opportunities for certain minority groups. Consequently this leads toward greater inequality across different areas such as housing wealth leading cycle poverty which many times difficult break out from without outside help.

Furthermore even though most discriminatory practices are no longer legally accepted there still exist underlying structures that rely outdated norms expectations create hostile environment those who might not fit within prescribed mould defined by majority – either consciously unconsciously! As result inequality embedded many aspects day life rarely questioned resulting systemic oppression becoming commonplace when actually should alarm bells going off tackling issue head before situation gets worse !

Lastly however perhaps greatest consequence comes form fact how detrimental these long term impacts much wider social context i.e if entire population lacking resources rights chances succeeding then ultimately nation itself will suffer consequences over time regardless ethnicity background belonging – whether we like admit not! Ultimately therefore while addressing issue first place best way move forward must recognize importance recognizing understanding root causes order find lasting solutions deal problem once all soon possible.
