Racism

Racism is a certain kind of prejudice, based on faulty reasoning and

inflexible generalizations toward a specific group. The word prejudice

comes from the Latin noun praejudicium, which means a judgment based on

previous decisions formed before the facts were known. If a person

allows their prejudiced beliefs to block the progress of another, it is

discrimination. Those who exclude all members of a race from certain

types of employment, housing, political rights, educational

opportunities, or a social interactions are guilty of racial

discrimination.

For centuries conflicts have taken place among three main races,

Caucasian, Asian, and Negro ranging from snobbish social exclusion, to

state- sponsored genocide. Racism is an unmerited fear or dislike of

a people because of their ethnic heritage. When colour is not a reason,

other reasons such as language, religion, nationality, education, sex,

or age become the reason of prejudice. ...
