This type of subtle prejudicial behavior has advanced to a degree that is much more difficult to see, yet is regarded as more severe. This modern form of racism has entered the workplace. Although many companies promise an equal opportunity, there is little doubt that everyone is treated equally within their place of work. Subtle, modern racism is believed to create an image that seems more politically correct. In the past racism was easily defined and institutional.
Women make up over half of the workforce.
Another form of modern racism, is the mindset that certain races are better or worse with specific abilities. For example, black athletes are regarded as naturally athletic and white athletes cannot jump. Asians are seen as intelligent, while Hispanics are regarded as unintelligent. All of these myths are innate manifestations that are imbedded in the mind of all who listen. There is a lack of familiarity with members of the opposite race.
