Why is institutional racism and discrimination more difficult to combat than individual discrimination or racism?

Directions & Guidelines:
Each week we will cover multiple chapters, and questions will be posted on Canvas regarding each theme’s readings. You will submit your reply (2-3 paragraphs) by Sunday evening of each week for each chapter.
These are think pieces; there are no right or wrong answers. I want you to think about the questions and be thoughtful and critical in your responses.
You need to submit at least 2-3 paragraph answers for each assignment. I’ve attached an example of a response that would garner full points so you understand what I’m looking for. (Check files for attachment)
Assignment Prompt:
How do social institutions affect our understanding of race and racial groups? Why are the classifications of race problematic? What examples from your own life can you give of how your race or ethnicity had (1) a positive effect or (2) a negative effect. Why is institutional racism and discrimination more difficult to combat than individual discrimination or racism?
