racial injustice
Prejudice against ethnicities
Racial injustice refers to unfair treatment, discrimination, or systemic disadvantage based on race.
The term encompasses both individual acts of prejudice and broader patterns embedded in institutions—courts, schools, housing, employment: Protesters marched against racial injustice.
It often appears in discussions of police conduct, incarceration rates, and economic disparities affecting minority communities.
