Racial superiority theories
Racial superiority theories are beliefs that one race is inherently better, smarter, or more deserving than others. Historically, these ideas have been used to justify discrimination, unequal treatment, and oppression. They lack scientific support and are rooted in prejudice rather than fact. Such theories ignore the fact that all humans are fundamentally equal, regardless of race, and promote harmful stereotypes that contribute to social injustice and division. Recognizing this helps foster understanding, equality, and respect among all people.
