“…Aversive racism is the tendency for people to view themselves as progressive, politically correct, or colorblind while manifesting implicit bias and subtle, negative attitudes toward members of marginalized groups (Bonilla-Silva, 2003; Burke, 2017; Dovidio & Gaertner, 2000; Konrad, 2018; Kovel, 1970; Rosette et al, 2017; Minefee, Rabelo, Stewart, & Young, 2018).
