How society manufactures systematic discrimination

Is discrimination just a matter of individualprejudice — or is it produced by entire social structures?
Many people say: I am not racist, I only judgeby performance. But if that were really true — why do studies consistently showthat migrants face significantly fewer opportunities, even when theirqualifications are identical?
Scherr (2012) shows that discrimination doesnot simply arise from individual bias. It is generated by social structuresthat produce differences — and then turn those differences into inequality.People are not disadvantaged because they are different, but becausedifferences are interpreted in ways that justify unequal treatment. Andcrucially: discrimination creates the very problems it later uses to justifyitself — a genuine circular logic.
If opportunities were truly equal — why dopeople with identical resumes receive different chances? The real question isnot: are migrants less capable? It is: who decides which differences count —and which become barriers?
