RACISM


Racism is a very harsh and negative matter which lives in every society no matter how hard we try racism will always occur and can never get fully rid of the issue. many people may have negative feelings to such things due to their experiences such as if a woman is robbed by someone of a specific ethnicity the chances are she will produce negative feelings for all teh people that belong to that ethnicity. Although the term racism usually denotes race-based prejudice, violence, discrimination, or oppression, the term can also have varying and hotly contested definitions. Racialism is a related term, sometimes intended to avoid these negative meanings. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, racism is a belief or ideology that all members of each racial group possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially to distinguish it as being either superior or inferior to another racial group or racial groups. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism
