Cultural Diversity & Anti-racism Awareness

Overview:

The term 'race' is commonly understood as a way to group people by ethnicity, nationality, skin colour and ancestry as well cultural background and practices. While many people think of 'race' as a biological category there is no biological basis for the division of people along these lines, rather the term is socio-cultural construct used to differentiate, and to privilege, different groups of people.

Racism refers to the dislike, unfair treatment, harassment or vilification of another person or group of people on the basis of perceived difference and a belief that one group is inherently superior to another. Racism appears in social structures and practices that limit, exclude, oppress and discriminate against individuals and groups based on their perceived race. Racism often intersects with other forms of discrimination and vilification based on perceived difference such as culture or religion.

Racism may be found in the attitudes and behaviours of individuals and groups as well as in organisational and institutional structures that privilege or provide opportunities to the dominant group and disadvantage other groups and individuals. Racism can be overt or covert, intentional or unintentional, conscious or unconscious. Racism impacts on the mental health of individuals and threatens the social cohesion of communities.

Cultural Diversity is a positive way of celebrating the differences in each of us and when we look at Recruitment Practices we have to consider our own Biases at play in the process.
