What refers to any attitude, action, or institutional structure that subordinates a person or group because of their color?

Racism
Disproportionality
Values
Disparity

The correct answer is: Racism

Racism refers to any attitude, action, or institutional structure that subordinates a person or group because of their color. Racism can manifest in various forms, such as discrimination, prejudice, or stereotypes, and it can have significant negative impacts on individuals and communities. Disproportionality refers to the unequal representation of certain groups within the child welfare system, while values are principles or beliefs that guide behavior. Disparity generally refers to differences or inconsistencies between groups but does not inherently imply subordination based on color like racism does.
