Topic: Racism - page 16. (Read 1431 times)

What I have noticed about the humans is that they don't like anyone who doesn't look like them or speak like them. I am living in India and many times I have seen Indians discriminating against those with white, yellow or black skin. If you don't have brown skin, then you may face a lot of harassment in India. And it is not just affecting the tourists. Even the Mongoloid-looking Indians from the northeast are heavily discriminated against in the other parts of India.

Racism is a belief system or doctrine that states that biological differences inherent in the human race determine the achievement of a culture or an individual - that a particular race is superior and has the right to govern the other race, the term racism to refer to the preferences of certain ethnic groups themselves (ethnocentrism), fear of strangers (xenophobia), rejection of racial relations (miscegenation), and generalization of a particular group of people (stereotypes), Racism has been a contributing factor to social discrimination, segregation and racial violence, including genocide. Politicians often use racial issues to win votes. The term racist has been used with bad connotations at least since the 1940s, and the identification of a group or person as a racist is often controversial.

We need not to judge other people because of the tone of their skins but we should see them inside, their beautiful hearts, colors can't defined who we are not all white people are good and not all black or brown people are bad. Not because some of us are Brownish or "Kayumanggi" in philippines and mostly Black in Africans and Aetas this races have their own freedom and rights, bot because their colors are differ from the white they are intend to be slave. Racism starts with us, and we will end up this problem through US.

Racism exists everywehere, every country and every nation. We cannot control it, especially, those people who has a strong belief on their ideals and their culture and traditions. I had a experience of racism many times, yet, I dont care about them, i just ignore them and continue my life. They are not part of my life anyway.

We shouldn't look at the color of skin or the outside appearance. We are diverse people, but there is beauty in diversity. This diversity complement each other. Serving, loving, caring and living is not about the skin or the outside appearance, its about the heart, how you serve, how you care and how you live. Unless you are not stepping the dignity of the other, racism is not a big deal.

Racism is something that can be overcome. The way to deal with it peacefully is from within oneself. All these racism beliefs start from within us, and only we alone can end it

Talk about racism there are two poles of opinion, that is first all human beings basically have racist nature, while the second environment where we are affecting a person to be and act racist. This study for the first time reveals that repeated racial discrimination will have an adverse effect on mental and physical health.
The results of this study show how the accumulated experiences of racist acts received by a person such as a curse and a physical assault make a person afraid of being in a public place and feeling insecure because the individual is from a certain ethnic minority that is the target of the majority ethnic hatred.

In the animal kingdom race is defined as such: a genetically distinct population of individuals within a species. Race leans more toward the biology of a species, having morphological, and genetic differences. Ethnicity is more or less based upon associations related to culture.
Unfortunately race can't be simplified down to either black or white. There are a good 4 or 5 different main roots of races within the human species. The intersexing of these roots give us many variations,  plus add in a multitude of different climates, and the hue of the skin will either lighten, or darken.
   Racism is a result of cultural shock, and the unacceptable notion of inevitable change. We as humans fear what we don't understand, so if you're different from me, even though we are both human, I may be skeptical of trusting you, due to ethnic differences (hypothetically speaking).
   The united States is a perfect melding pot for breaking down social, and racial barriers, because the laws and regulations only see the people as Americans, not blacks, whites, etc. It is the citizens who breed contempt amongst each other because of their subtle differences. We as a human species have come a long way in our evolution. Some day we will look past race, and ethnicity, and only see each other as people.

racism is one form of self-conceit, they (who doing racism) think they'r better then the other. but the truth is, they more despicable. and yaa, sometime i saw one or two racism, and altough i hate it,  i think it still alive.

How do I view it? I think it's the most retarded thing ever. The color of someones skin DOES NOT define them as a person, nor does it define their morals and values. Yes it is very much alive in my country. I am part of the majority and have never been oppressed in any way because of my race. However I see it all the time. If you are racist, you are scum.

Hi! Today, I want to talk about a topic that I've experienced multiple times in my life, in this country. And that's racism! How do you view racism? Is it still alive in this country, in your opinion? Have you ever experienced racism in your life? How did you handle your racist experience?
