PA L A B R A S C L AV E educación en consejería, racismo, inclusión, negación del racismoSystemic racism has remained a persistent force in the lives of those who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and is a phenomenon that is imperative for the counseling profession to address (Gonzalez & Cokley, 2021). Although the American Counseling Association (ACA, 2014) overtly states its value for diversity and inclusion, BIPOC are underrepresented in the counseling profession. For example, BIPOC counseling students and faculty may oftentimes find themselves in the minority due to low enrollment and recruitment of BIPOC faculty and students (Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs [CACREP], 2018; Zeligman et al., 2015). Such racial disparities may create fertile ground for impacted emotional experiences and racialized exclusion among BIPOC students and faculty.
