Racism

Racism is the belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities that make some superior or inferior to others. This ideology often leads to discrimination and prejudice against people based on their race or ethnicity. Racism can manifest in individual attitudes, institutional practices, and societal norms, impacting access to resources, opportunities, and rights. It harms individuals and communities by perpetuating inequality and social division, and it undermines social cohesion. Combating racism involves promoting understanding, equality, and respect among all people, regardless of their racial or ethnic backgrounds.
