The Invisible Stigma in Organizations – Cultural Racism and Inclusion

This article examines the subtle mechanisms of exclusion in modern organizations, referred to as 'cultural racism.' Drawing on Glenn Loury's concepts, the author explains that contemporary stigmatization is no longer based on biology but on concepts such as 'organizational fit' or 'safety.' The article exposes the trap of procedural blindness, in which institutions, despite having codes of ethics, unconsciously favor the dominant group. This phenomenon leads to systemic errors in assessing the competences and developing the talents of individuals from minority groups. The key to authentic inclusion is moving beyond superficial declarations to reliable diversity management and designing contact that eliminates evaluative indifference and builds true community.
