Racism is a structural barrier perpetuated by individuals that lead to discrimination against a person because of their race.
The NEU uses Black in a political context to encompass “all members who self-identify as Black, Asian and any other minority ethnic groups who do not identify themselves as white“.
This discrimination can include assumptions about capabilities based on racial stereotypes, the denial of promotions or a dismissal of the expertise of the racialised individual. These injustices are still experienced everyday by Black people, including Black educators.
