RACISM

An irrational bias towards members of a racial background. The bias can be positive (e.g. one race can prefer the company of its own race or even another) or it can be negative (e.g. one race can hate another). To qualify as racism, the bias must be irrational. That is, it cannot have a factual basis for preference. 

RACISM

It is the practice of letting a person's race or skin color unfairly become a factor when deciding who receives a job, promotion, or other employment benefit. It most often affects minority individuals who feel they have been unfairly discriminated against in favor of a Caucasian (or white) individual, but there have been recent cases where whites have claimed that reverse discrimination has occurred—that is, a minority received unfairly favorable treatment at the expense of a white individual.

RACIAL DISCRIMINATION

What are the MAIN CAUSES of

RACISM?

Instinctive reaction for species protection

Fear of loss and displacement (FEAR)

Ignorance (The condition of being uneducated, unaware or uniformed)

Lack of self love, feeling of unworthiness and desire to feel superior

Instinctive reaction for species protectionIt is natural to relate to those who are similar in

our own image and likeness and too feel comfortable with those that look and reflect who we are in appearance and behaviour. Humans naturally feel threatened when things we cherish most such as our culture, territory, family, and our identity are in danger of being harmed.

Fear of loss and displacement (FEAR)

Humans naturally seek to protect their own kind, which means they fear for any loss of what makes them who they are; it can be anything including our jobs, status, territory, possessions, personal significance and even our own identity. Humans fear being replaced by anyone who is seen as more appealing and desirable than what they are.

Ignorance (The condition of being uneducated, unaware or uniformed)

What continues racism is ignorance in the world. If a person grows up doing a particular thing their whole lives and everyone else around them does the same thing, it is seen to be right even if it is morally wrong it may be to another human being that does not share the same outlook on life.

Lack of self love, feeling of unworthiness and desire to feel superior

People who are the most racist tend to be people who lack confidence, self esteem and most of all self love.  A racist person throws all their negative feelings onto others that are seen as weak and vulnerable. Racism comes from the feeling of being worthless, being victimized, and lacking the opportunities others may have. 

What are the EFFECTS of RACISM?

Racism can have a lot of effects on a victim. Victims can become angry, bitter or violent. It can destroy a person’s self esteem. It can destroy communities and creates divisions within society.

What are the EFFECTS of RACISM?

A Cornell News Service study in 2009 did a study on the effects of racism saying that racial discrimination erodes mental health. The study finds that black people may have poorer mental health as a result of two mechanisms: Chronic exposure to racial discrimination leads

to more experiences of daily discrimination It results in an accumulation of daily negative

events across various domains of life, from family, friends, health and finances.

A person’s whole world can change from experiencing discrimination and they can become depressed, anxious and mentally unwell.
