White worship is internalized racism, a form of internalized oppression, defined by sociologist Karen D. Pyke as the "internalization of racial oppression by the racially subordinated" [1].

Robin Nicole Johnson in her study The Psychology of Racism, emphasizes that internalized racism involves both "conscious and unconscious acceptance of a racial hierarchy in which a presumed superior race [is] consistently ranked above other races."

These definitions encompass a wide range of instances not limited to:

Internalized racism as a phenomenon is a direct product of a racial classification system and is found across different racial groups and regions around the world where "race" exists as a social construct [1].

• higher propensity for violence among African American young males, and
• increased domestic violence among Native American populations in the US [3, 4, 5]. More

In the context of the European Spanish Empire in the Americas, the term also refers to a theoretical framework which says that colonial society operated under a hierarchical race-based "caste "caste system."

From the outset, colonial Spanish America resulted in widespread intermarriage: unions of Spaniards (Españoles), indigenous people (Indios, "Indians," indigenas), and Africans (Negros, lit. "Blacks").

Colonists, do we internalize racism?

Basic mixed-race categories that appeared in official colonial documentation were mestizo ("Mixed," "Blended"), generally offspring of a Spaniard and an Indigenous person; and mulatto, offspring of a Spaniard and a black African.

Many terms were used for people of mixed Spanish, Indigenous, and African ancestry in 18th-century casta paintings... More
