Racism and racial discrimination

Racism and racial discrimination involve unfair treatment of people based on their race or ethnicity. This can include prejudiced beliefs, unfair attitudes, or actions that favor one group over another. Such biases can lead to unequal opportunities, social exclusion, or even hostility. Racism is often rooted in stereotypes and ignorance, affecting individuals and communities by limiting their rights, resources, and dignity. Combating racism requires awareness, understanding, and active efforts to promote equality and respect for everyone's differences.
