THERE IS NO SUCH

THING AS RACE. NONE .

THERE IS JUST A HUMAN

RACE – SCIENTIFICALLY ,

ANTHROPOLOGICALLY.

Racism is the belief that groups of humans possess different behavioral traits corresponding to physical appearance and can be divided based on the superiority of one race over another. It may also mean prejudice , discrimination or antagonism directed against other people because they are different ethnicity. Modern variants of racism are often based in social perceptions of biological differences between people. These views can take the form of social actions , practices or beliefs or political system in which different races are ranked as inherently superior or inferior to each other based on presumed shared inheritable traits , abilities or qualities.

In terms of political systems that support the expression of prejudice or aversion in discriminatory practices or laws , racist ideologist  may include associated social aspects such as nativism , xenophobia , otherness , segregation , hierarchical ranking and supremacism. 

Despite constitutional  and legal measures aimed at protecting the rights of racial minorities in the United States, the private beliefs and practices of many Americans remained racist, and some group of assumed lower status was often made a scapegoat. That tendency has persisted well into the 21st century.

Because, in the popular mind, “race” is linked to physical differences among peoples, and such features as dark skin colour have been seen as markers of low status, some experts believe that racism may be difficult to eradicate. Indeed, minds cannot be changed by laws, but beliefs about human differences can and do change, as do all cultural elements.
