Ageism may be the first majortype of discrimination some White adults experience, which may increase their awareness comparedwith other racial and ethnic groups more habituated to discrimination
I think this is something to note when taking care of the older adult population. Sadly, some older adults of other racial and ethnic groups are more "used to" the discrimination. While it may be a white older adult's first time being discriminated against. While they are developing more awareness of discrimination that they may have been blind to before, we should also acknowledge and stop our own biases and ageism towards these people. Whether they have experienced discrimination before or not, we should be offering them a safe space with the best care.
