What is Racism?

Racism takes many forms and can happen in many places. It includes prejudice, discrimination or hatred directed at someone because of their cast, color, culture (ethnicity) or national origin.

People often associate racism with acts of abuse or harassment. However, it doesn’t need to involve violent or intimidating behavior. Take racial name-calling and jokes. Or consider situations when people may face hatred of certain groups because of where they are from what are their cultural traditions even what how they dress up. Showing hatred for the people who cover their bodies head to toe or less is also termed as racism.

Racism can be revealed through people’s actions as well as their attitudes and behavior. It can also be reflected in systems and institutions. But sometimes it may not be revealed at all. Not all racism is obvious. For example, someone may look through a list of job applicants and decide not to interview people with certain surnames.

Racism is more than just words, beliefs and actions. It includes all the barriers that prevent people from enjoying dignity and equality because of their race.

It is okay Evangelina

Rahul has proved himself what he is, ONCE HE ENCOURAGED AND FAVORED THE GENOCIDE THE INNOCENTS IN MYANMAR ROHINGYA, WHICH THE ENTIRE WORLD CONDEMNED, RAHUL IS THE ONLY ONE WHO FAVORED THIS SORT OF TYRANNY. He has also posted this sort of rubbish on my other blog which I deleted and reported to the admin what kind of hatred he is spreading on this site. He forgot that in there how the dalit (inferior cast hindu) and Muslims being treated in his own country. But I do not want to start any this kind of argument which cause bad feelings and destroying cordial atmosphere of this forum.

Thanks Onee being so considerate. I just felt I should write about this a topic, (of course carefully), because previously such kind of atmosphere (I felt) has been created by our so called "wise" circle here.

Thanks Onee for the nice comment. Yes, Ada has/is shown/showing a good example inviting us adults to avoid 'so called' intelligence spreading sugar coated hatred in the name of modernism and denying the existing universal fact.................we born innocent and we should remain the same.

Thanks once again.

Great topic, Mishaikh!

I also support sweetheart Ada's comment. Btw, the social relationship/condition in my country is just like what Ada describe in her class.

Thank you for sharing. :)

What a great example is given by Bala! I also think it is mostly done by adult people, adults are more complicated in comparison to the kids. That is why we like to call them angles! And, we should learn from them. Anyway, thanks a lot, Misha for posting this blog, this type of topic must be discussed to increase awareness.

Thanks Ada for timely comment. They are children who show us the right track but some (or very often) adult do not behave that way. Some they hate the people who wear complete dress some hates lesser dress. This hatred is now si increased that girls wearing dress head to toe are being attacked by such racists.

Thanks once again for teaching kids equalities irrespective of cast and culture.
