This factsheet discusses how antiracism is a political philosophy that addresses racism as a systemic problem, as racism and racist discourses are pervasive in society. To employ antiracism is to address it as a social and political issue that is socially constructed, as opposed to viewing it only as an issue of morality. White feminism prioritizes white women and antiracist challenges to feminist organizations are seen as attacking the moral identity of white feminists. Reflection and self-examination can promote the declaration and regulation of racist beliefs.
