Aversive racism is the belief in equality and the absence of prejudice while harboring unfavorable attitudes about racial matters and members of minority groups. People's interactions with members of minorities are influenced by their biased ideas about how they act and think.
According to the idea of aversive racism, which was put out by Samuel L. Gaertner and John F. Dovidio, chronic avoidance of engagement with different racial and ethnic groups results in a permanent unfavorable view of racial and ethnic minorities.
Aversive racism is distinguished from conventional, overt racism by more nuanced, ambiguous statements and attitudes that yet hold prejudices against other races. Traditional, overt racism is defined by overt hostility for and discrimination against racial/ethnic minorities.
Racist attitudes develop from unconsciously held personal views that were instilled in children. Usually, subtle racist actions are directed against African Americans. One of the most effective manifestations of aversive racism is workplace discrimination.
