Racism is the cumulative history of all those thoughts and acts. They add up to a pattern in which people of color are routinely and systematically treated differently than white people. Unfair racial stereotypes have taken root in the hearts of people. They cause us to react to people differentlyâin stores, on the streets, in encounters between police and citizens. They even affect the way we describe violence and destruction of property.
