Institutional racism is systemic racism in which racialized experience is not caused by an individual but by the whole entire organization or the state laws. Our four guest speakers contributed to this topic from four different perspectives. Professor Chris Doran shared his immigrant experience and two strategies to combat racism through education and collective play. Heba Mohamed shared her difficulty living in the Egyptian community as a divorced woman with kids and her way to overcome the obstacle. Normand Hector raised the issue of fairness and equality in organizational pay. And Mohammed Hashim shared some true stories that can make us realize racism is still an extreme experience for many underrepresented people.
