Although the problems of racism are being confronted in a number of venues, the word and the topic are taboo in American nursing. This article uses historical, personal, and anecdotal data to explore racism in American nursing. It examines how four attributes of nursing: (1) an emphasis on empathy; (2) an individual orientation; (3) a preference for homogeneity; and (4) a need to avoid conflict, provide a climate that allows nurses to avoid openly dealing with racism in the profession.
