INTERNALIZED

• Race-based beliefs and feelings within individuals; e.g., Consistently believing that your way of doing things is better than that of your colleagues of color.

INTERPERSONAL

• Bigotry and biases shown between individuals through word and action e.g., Leaders exclude people of color from a team because they “just aren’t a good fit with the team dynamic.”

INSTITUTIONAL

• Discriminatory policies and practices within organizations and institutions. e.g., Resumes that have Black-sounding names are 50% less likely to get called for an interview compared to people with White-sounding names.

SYSTEMIC

• Ongoing racial inequalities maintained by society. e.g., In 2015, the median net worth for White families in the Boston area ($247,500) towered over that of Hispanic ($3,020 for Puerto Ricans, $2,700 for other Hispanics) and Black families ($12,000 for “Caribbean Blacks” and $8 for “U.S. Blacks”). Additionally, in 2014, Asian American individuals in Boston were more than 2 times as likely to find themselves in poverty compared to their White counterparts.
