Discrimination The unequal treatment of members of various groups based on race, gender, social class, sexual orientation, physical ability, religion and other categories. (www.leadershipharrisburg.org) Diversity Diversity includes all the ways in which people differ, and it encompasses all the different characteristics that make one individual or group different from another. It is all-inclusive and recognizes everyone and every group as part of the diversity that should be valued. A broad definition includes not only race, ethnicity, and gender —the groups that most often come to mind when the term “diversity” is used —but also age, national origin, religion, disability, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, education, marital status, language, and physical appearance. It also involves different ideas, perspectives, and values. (www.leadershipharrisburg.org) Ethnicity An ethnic group; a social group that shares a common and distinctive culture, religion, language, or the like. (Dictionary.com) Equality The right of different groups of people to have a similar social position and receive the same treatment. (Cambridge Dictionary) Equity The quality of being fair or impartial; fairness; impartiality (Dictionary.com) Individual racism Individual racism refers to the beliefs, attitudes, and actions of individuals that support or perpetuate racism. Individual racism can be deliberate, or the individual may act to perpetuate or support racism without knowing that is what he or she is doing. (www.leadershipharrisburg.org)
Micro-aggressions Everyday verbal, non-verbal and environmental slights, snubs or insults, whether intentional or unintentional, which communicate hostile, derogatory or negative message to target persons based solely upon their marginalized group membership. (Disarming racial microaggressions: microintervention strategies for targets, white allies, and bystanders) Performative allyship Performative allyship, by contrast, is where those with privilege, profess solidarity with a cause. This assumed solidarity is usually vocalized, disingenuous and potentially harmful to marginalized groups. Often, the performative ally professes allegiance in order to distance themselves from potential scrutiny. In many cases, organizational leaders use performance driven activity, in a way that they believe will protect company brand from being highlighted in a negative way. (Forbes) Positive discrimination Positive discrimination is when you give preferential treatment to people with a protected characteristic rather than due to their suitability. (Croner) Prejudice An unfair and unreasonable opinion or feeling, especially when formed without enough thought or knowledge. (Cambridge dictionary) Privilege Unearned social power accorded by the formal and informal institutions of society to ALL members of a dominant group (e.g. white privilege, male privilege, etc.). Privilege is usually invisible to those who have it because we’re taught not to see it, but nevertheless it puts them at an advantage over those who do not have it. (www.leadershipharrisburg.org)
