Black Lives Matter Group Told Meeting Must Include Anyone

Plenty of private meeting rooms for hire in the UK. some in Public buildings.
As long as it is not illegal nor causes a public nuisance or disturbance they don't care.
However public meetings must include all comers.

I haven't questioned your use, but thank you for the aside. We can without doubt establish that perception of race, however difficult to pin down is consequential. I am not saying that it is not. I am questioning the assertion that the racism is "built in." If you think this is true then you can explain.
Only that children tend to resist those who look different than what they're used to, plus studies done with variations of human anatomy indicate that appearance does matter.

A statement by a person cannot be institutional racism...

Not true, as institutionalized racism can affect thought, behavior, and speech. IOW, it's a mindset that can have various manifestations, and we see this played out in undoubtedly most societies in the world. It is very insidious and strongly tends to effect the subconscious. Ever take a social-psychology class, by chance?

Lol, institutional racism can have an effect on thought. That is very different than a person's statement being institutional racism. I don't mean to split hairs here, but it is very important that you understand this.

That seems like a lot of unnecessary assumptions that you're affording yourself. Those unnecessary assumptions are of course environmental factors which goes to prove my point that it is not built in.

Cheers though.

You basically just stated that someone who is an anthropologist that he just needs understand a basic social-psychology and anthropology concept.

They are not assumptions, but well researched and documented studies.

I have taken classes on this and taught it for over three decades, and you simply do not know what you are talking about. "Institutionalized racism" is very insidious and can have far reaching effects.

Therefore, our discussion has just come to an end. So, instead of just posting "LOL", maybe you would be a lot better off actually doing some studying on the matter. Here's a good place for you to start: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institutional_racism

Goodbye.

Um, I told a person asserting that an individual's statement cannot be institutional racism.

It is a pretty cut and dry matter. A person is not an institution. If anyone here thinks a person is an institution then they are confused.

you have students that people are institutions?

I think you taught them incorrectly, if that is the case.
