"racism is not found in child's mind-it is a creation of complex adult" explain the statement in 150 words

Racism can feel deeply personal for a child. Children may experience it in the form of racial slurs. They may encounter adults who treat them as racial stereotypes, not as individuals. They may see their parents slighted or treated with disrespect. “Children can internalize harmful stereotypes,” says Erica Lee, attending psychologist at Boston Children’s Hospital. “Over time experiencing or witnessing discrimination can negatively impact a child’s identity and self-esteem.”

But racism is also a pervasive social issue that plays a large role in the environment a child grows up in, the quality of their schools, the air they breathe, the water they drink. In a 2019 report, the American Academy of Pediatrics describes racism as “a socially transmitted disease passed down through generations.” Directly and indirectly, racist systems and policies contribute to health conditions that can impact a child for life.
