How Discrimination Affects Your Mental And Physical Health
HuffPost
For members of marginalized communities, discrimination is not only unjust but physically and mentally harmful.
The unfortunate reality for marginalized communities is that discrimination is hardly ever a surprise. It can be disappointing, scary and infuriating, but it’s rarely shocking.
When someone has experienced years of bias, prejudice and unfair treatment, it can eventually feel like a perpetual state of waiting for the other shoe to drop ― a sense that it’s just a matter of time before the next emergence of some ugly attitude. It might take any form: Maybe it will be racist, or homophobic ― or antisemitic, as in the recent case of Kanye West.
