Which term describes the power of control and access to a society's institutions being systematically determined by a dominant racial group?

Institutional Racism
Four Levels of Cultural Competence
Disproportionality
Disparity

The correct answer is: Institutional Racism

Institutional Racism is the correct answer because it accurately describes the power dynamics where control and access to society's institutions are systematically determined by a dominant racial group. This term refers to the policies, practices, and procedures within institutions that perpetuate racial inequality. It is important to recognize and address institutional racism to work towards creating a fair and just society for all individuals. The other options are not directly related to the concept described in the question: - Four Levels of Cultural Competence refer to a framework for developing cultural competence in service delivery. - Disproportionality refers to the overrepresentation or underrepresentation of a particular group in a specific system or outcome. - Disparity generally refers to differences or gaps between groups, which can include but is not limited to racial disparities.
