Race: a concept no longer recognized as valid, except in terms of its social consequence; in the
past, the concept of race referred to the biological division between human beings, based
primarily on their skin color.
Racialization: the process of the social construction of race whereby individuals or groups are
subjected to differential and/ or unequal treatment based on their designation as a member of a
particular "race".
Racialized person or racialized group: individual or group of people, other than indigenous ppl,
who are subjected to differential and/or unequal treatment based on their designation as a
member of a particular "race".
Visible minority: Outdated term used primarily in Canada by Statistics Canada to refer to a
category of persons who are non-caucasian in race or non-white in color and who do not report
being indigenous.
Person of colour: considered to be an outdated term, which was originally intended to be more
positive and inclusive of people than the terms "non-white" or "visible minority" was used to refer
to people who may share a common experience of racism.
Reverse discrimination: discrimination against whites, usually in the form of affirmative action,
employment equity, and diversity policies; the concept of reverse racism, is considered by many to
be impossible because of existing power structures in society.
Race card: a term that refers to the use of race to gain an advantage.
Racial stereotyping: using the concept of race or ethnicity to attach a generalized concept that all
members of a group have a particular characteristic or ability.
Racism: Racism is an ideology that either directly or indirectly asserts that one group is superior to
others, with the power to put this ideology into practice in a way that gives advantages, privilege,
and power to certain groups of people, and conversely, can disadvantage or limit the
opportunities of racialized individuals or racialized groups.
Representational racism: a form of racism that uses imagery to depict racial stereotypes, often in
popular culture and media, in a manner that reinforces the perceived inferiority of racialized
persons and groups.
Jim Crow racism: Anti-black racism that existed in the u.s during the period of 1877-the 1960s.
Jim Crow laws enforced racial segregation and a racialized social order that resulted in the
subjugation, oppression, and death (through lynching and other violence) of African Americans.

reinforce, and advance notions of racial superiority or inferiority.
