systemic oppression

Oppression that occurs at the institutional level, such as in government policy-making, within educational institutions and the throughout the health care system. While one-on-one experiences of discrimination might stand out more in our minds, systemic oppression is even farther-reaching because it is coded right into the institutions we depend on to survive.

"Bathroom bills" passed in various states are an example of the systemic oppression of transgender people.

systemic oppression

Basically racism for everyone no matter the race and sexism no matter the sex. It's real fun. Ask John why.

Person A: Can I get some candy?
Person B: Sorry you just going to sell it with cocaine in it.
Person A: Is it because I'm of spanish decent and a male that I have cocaine in my back pocket? That's systemic oppression!
