Cultural racism

Cultural racism is a concept that refers to the stereotype, and it’s associated hostility, where some cultures are thought of as inferior or primitive. It 'is targeted not at non-whites in general, but at certain groups which are perceived to be assertively "different" and not trying to "fit in"’ (Modood et al., 1997, p.9). Cultural racism can manifest itself at both individual and institutional levels.
