Microaggressions - verbal, nonverbal, or behavioral taunts used frequently that target an individual or group of individuals based on their background.

The information I've copied provides instances of how microaggressions might look or sound, in addition to actual accounts of what has actually occurred to individuals. This, in my opinion, demonstrates how many individuals who are African-American are often encouraged to disregard these remarks or behaviors, or even to avoid letting them affect them. It is very clear that racism still disadvantages people of color and contributes to many of the issues we face today in the same manner that it did years ago.

Institutional Racism - also known as systemic racism, is a type of racial discrimination that is established in a society's laws and rules.

This photo highlights five areas where systemic racism occurs. As far as I know, housing is one of the areas that many individuals of color have a hard time with. There are also 5 subcategories with definitions of what they are.

Intersectionality - how elements like race, gender, and class influence people's life chances and social behaviors of stratification.

In this video, it is addressed how racial and gender discrimination may affect black women. Individuals with disabilities, individuals from various religious backgrounds, people who have diverse looks or who speak different languages may all fall under the umbrella of intersectionality. Many people don't constantly consider their identities. It's possible that individuals won't have to worry about identity thoughts based on what they have going on in life. 

Jim Crow - laws put into place after the Civil War to officially enforce segregation, especially in the South after the abolition of slavery.

This image essentially speaks for itself. It demonstrates the measures POC took to make their voices heard. The majority of these events took place without violence.

Phenotype - the set of common characteristics that make up an individual and are the product of their genetics. 

This website offers a brief description of genetic makeup & phenotypes. It also contends that environmental factors have a greater influence on genotypes than do genetic ones. This may have an impact on numerous minority groups. Everything is not exactly as it seems.

Genotype - the genetic makeup of an individual.

A genotype's definition and origin are explained in this video. Many people today may not be aware that genotypes differ across individuals. Every individual is one-of-a-kind and has their own unique genetic makeup. People might not be aware that parents are responsible for the characteristics their children are born with. Others in society may categorize or stereotype how they think or feel people should look.
