Explain modern representations of racism and provide an example of its impact in the workplace.

One example is workplace discrimination. This involves unfair treatment of individuals in employment settings based on their race or ethnicity. This can manifest as unequal hiring practices, lack of promotion opportunities, lower pay for the same work, or hostile work environments. The effects of workplace discrimination include limiting career advancement and economic opportunities for individuals from marginalized racial groups, contributing to a racial wealth gap, and causing psychological distress and reduced job satisfaction for those affected.
