Explain the term "racialization."

Accepted Answer

Racialization refers to the process by which social groups are categorized and defined according to race, and then treated differently based on these racial categories.

Accepted Answer

Racialized minorities are often portrayed in the mass media in a stereotypical and one-dimensional manner.
