A form of racial discrimination that is disguised, hidden and subtle. It is the use of passive or seemingly passive methods that concur racial biases and preferences.

The prejudice or discrimination against individuals based on the darkness of their skin. It’s the preference of individuals with lighter skin tones, which was born from the idea that one’s value is to be determined based on how close they are to being white.

"I don't see colour", a very famous phrase used in the approach of colour blind racism. It’s essentially the idea that the only way to end racial discrimination is by ignoring the reality of their race. This is an issue because by saying you don’t see colour, is saying that you don’t see people of colour. The need for color blindness implies that there is something shameful about the way people of colour and their culture are made we shouldn’t talk about or not see, and dismisses the issues which people of colour face. It was an ideology created by white people who are uncomfortable talking about race which does much more bad than it does good.

Refers to the ideology of behaviours and values that see white people and whiteness as better or more normal. It’s an issue that exists in everyday life throughout Europe as it shows up in movies, advertisements, books , fashion, laws and history. It is the influencing of collective cultural beliefs like the beauty standards, in thinking things like blonde hair and blue eyes is valued more over a big afro and full lips on the scale of beauty.

These are everyday verbal or non-verbal, intentional or unintentional insults, behaviours, jokes or habits that connote negative or derogatory messages to targeted persons based only by their race, gender, etc. Examples are: holding your bag closer when a person of colour is near, crossing the street when you see a person of colour or automatically assuming that a black person in a store is a security guard and not a store clerk or customer.

The systemic fair treatment of people of all races, resulting in equitable opportunities and outcomes for all. This goes beyond antiracism, it requires not only the absence of discrimination and inequities but also the effort to implement systems that support causes to achieve racial equity through the reinforcement of policies, practices and attitudes.

The practice of hiring or including a person from a marginalised group only to prevent criticism and give the appearance that people are being treated fairly. It is the inauthentic version of inclusion with the objective of gaining praise.

It’s the idea that white people and the ideas, thoughts, beliefs and actions of white people are better and superior to those of people of colour. It’s associated mostly to extremist groups like the KKK but it includes experiences of everyday life that systems and standards to devalue the worth of people of colour with things like beauty standards or religion.
