"There has been a tendency within psychology to use the terms prejudice and racism interchangeably. Prejudice is typically regarded as an individual phenomenon, whereas racism is a broader construct that links individual beliefs and behaviour to broader social and institutional norms and practices that systematically disadvantage particular groups. At an individual level, people can display prejudice, but this in itself does not necessarily constitute racism. Central to racism is the ability of dominant groups to systematically exercise power over out-groups. Importantly, thepowerone group has over another transforms prejudice into racism and links individual prejudice with broader social practices (Jones, 1997)."
