The United States is in the middle of an ongoing reckoning with systemic racism after — yet another — set of high profile killings of Black people. Around the country, many are reevaluating their internalized biases, while organizations and companies are making public changes to promote an anti-racist outlook. On Monday, July 13, one big change caught the public eye with the Washington Redskins‘ name change announcement, which comes after years of pressure to drop what many see as a racist slur.
Protests following the killings of Black individuals including George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade, and Breonna Taylor have shown Americans‘ outrage about the ongoing weight of systemic racism and police brutality. While much of the current conversation has focused on the specific ways Black people in America are discriminated against, larger conversations about racism have also addressed the ways indigenous people and other groups of color are affected.
