Abstract
McKenzie comments that “racism can manifest as individual or group acts and attitudes or institutional processes that lead to disparities”.1 In an earlier paper, we have shown that there is evidence to suggest that experience of interpersonal and institutional racism may have independent effects on the health, measured in a variety of ways, of people from ethnic minority groups in the UK.3 The pathway along which racism influences health may involve less discrete effects, however. It could be argued, for example, that living with a fear of racism may have an impact on health, regardless of any actual personal experience.1, 4
