Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Institutionalized racism refers to patterns of discrimination that are built into societal institutions such as schools, workplaces, and government agencies, and that reproduce racial or ethnic inequality even when there is no intention to discriminate.

Laissez-faire racism refers to a more passive form of racism, in which individuals do not actively discriminate but do little to challenge existing inequalities.
