Racism reproduces through three intertwined everyday micro-processes

Evidence

In my study, Understanding Everyday Racism (Essed, 1991), I found that expressions of racism in one particular situation are related to all other racist practices and can be reduced to three strands of everyday racism, interlocking as a triangle of mutually dependent processes: the marginalization of those identified as racially or ethnically different; the problematization of other cultures and identities; and symbolic or physical repression of (potential) resistance through humiliation or violence. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 1481
