Discriminatory behavior in society carries with it a multitude of risks. It leads to individuals feeling isolated, disrespected and devalued, which can cause them physical and mental distress. It can also lead to greater inequality in terms of access to resources, treatment by authorities, and opportunities for success or advancement. Discriminatory behavior is driven by both individual and systemic biases, which must be challenged both through policy efforts aimed at eliminating barriers based on race or class, but also through awareness campaigns which seek to educate individuals about the cost of discrimination and prejudice on our community.

Discrimination leads to the exclusion of individuals, depriving them of opportunities for personal growth and progress. Such behavior affects both individuals and society as a whole, as exclusion contributes to a wide range of social issues such as poverty and inequality. Potential risks include physical harm, mental distress, restricted participation in society, reduced economic opportunities, political marginalization, restricted access to resources and justice systems that are unable or unwilling to recognize or adequately address discriminatory practices. In order to address this issue effectively, we need increased awareness on the problem - particularly among those privileged groups that might be unlikely to recognize instances where their own privilege creates systemic barriers - together with greater levels of accountability from powerful institutions around enforcing anti-discriminatory policies. It is also important for government leaders create policies that provide resources for disadvantaged groups who experience discrimination due so they can enjoy equal access throughout all areas of society.
