Racism and Sexism The transformation of prejudice, based on race or gender, through the exercise of power and authority, against the group defined as inferior by individuals and institutions or organizations, with the intentional or unintentional support of the culture.

Factors in Development of Racism and Sexism Contact Social visibility Unequal power Ethnocentrism Competition Stereotypes Gender role socialization Mass Media

Personal Racist and Sexist Behaviors Paternalism Ignoring Speaking for Testimonials Ethnic, racist & sexist jokes

Personal Racist and Sexist Behaviors Frequent interruptions Stereotypical language Titles & ranks Denying opportunities Dubious supervision

Racist and Sexist Behaviors Factors that Support Racist and Sexist Behaviors Reference Groups Groups or associations with like attitudes and like values, KKK, NOI, other fraternal organizations Conformity to Norms It’s easier to conform to the norms than to challenge an attitude Rewards/punishment People tend to get on the bus, go with the flow

Racist and Sexist Behaviors Factors that Support Racist and Sexist Behaviors Self-Fulfilling Prophecy Influencing the behavior of another person by expressing our expectations of that person If we assume that because someone is a minority, that they can’t achieve the same level of competence as the majority, that is exactly what happens Pro-Sexism/Racism Accommodating sexist/racist behavior by reinforcing it rather than questioning, checking, or opposing it. Not as common today Example: She doesn't want to break a nail, racist jokes about own group

Social Problems Created by Racism and Sexism Deviant behavior acted out Inner group tensions in community Ineffective use of abilities How many more doctor’s, scientists, astronauts etc., that we could have without racism / sexism?

Strategies for Combating Racism and Sexism Awareness Education Participation Self-Analyze Acknowledging & understanding differences Commander’s responsibilities -

Summary Define racism and sexism Identify factors in development of racism and sexism Identify racist and sexist behaviors Identify factors that support racism and sexism Identify social problems created by racist & sexist behavior Identify strategies for combating racism and sexism
