Answer 2

This is the dictionary definition of racism :



racism n. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.





-----



Racism never concerns religion, sexual ou cultural differences. This is called "discrimintation".



Racism has existed for as long as we know. Look at slavery carried out by white Europeans and some Asian nations.



Today however, I do think that the media "amplifys" the race problems in some countries.



In my opinon, this can be deliberately done by a government to diverte attention from other important issues.

Answer 3

My definition of "Racism" is; to judge harshly or in a negative manner based on skin color or ethnicity alone. To treat people differently and discriminate against them based solely on the color of their skin.



I don't feel that racism is tied to politics, except for those who use it for personal gain. (exp. John Edwards).

Racism is used to justify certain actions and/or beliefs. It is wrong, but it happens.



The other part about putting 10 people in a room etc. etc. etc. There is not enough room or time to do this task justice. No two people will agree on everything. Nor are you likely to find one thing all 10 can agree on.



Why do they have to be naked? Clothes do not a person make. Their brains, heart, and personality do not reside in a pair of undershorts. Okay.....with some people these things seem to.

Answer 4

Racism is 1 of 2 things no1.-any discrimination based on the supposed differences between races. no.2 any political or social system based on such discrimination. That's from the dictionary and exactly how it is by definition in today's society. Best Wishes.
