Stop Racism & Prejudice
What is Racism? Racism refers to a set of beliefs (often complex), which asserts the natural superiority of one racial group over another at the individual as well as the institutional level. In one sense, racism refers to the belief that biology rather than culture is the primary determinant of group attitudes and actions. This belief can then be used to extol the inherent superiority of certain ‘races’ and justify deferential treatment and social positions. Racism goes beyond ideology, however, involving discriminatory practices that protect and maintain the superior position of certain groups and sustain the inferior position of others.
