Racism is the belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.^[1] In the case of institutional racism, certain racial groups may be denied rights or benefits, or get preferential treatment, while reverse racism favours members of a historically disadvantaged group at the expense of those of a historically advantaged group. Racial discrimination typically points out taxonomic differences between different groups of people, even though anybody can be racialised, independently of their somatic differences. According to the United Nations conventions, there is no distinction between the term racial

Racial discrimination is treating people differently through a process of social division into categories not necessarily related to races. Racial segregation policies may officialize it, but it is also often exerted without being legalized. Researchers, including Dean Karlan and Marianne Bertrand, at the MIT and the University of Chicago found in a 2003 study that there was widespread discrimination in the workplace against job applicants whose names were merely perceived as "sounding black". These applicants were 50% less likely than candidates perceived as having "white-sounding names" to receive callbacks for interviews. The researchers view these results as strong evidence of unconscious biases rooted in the United States' long history of discrimination.

Discrimination or racism is a big problem in our world. Racism takes place in school, work places, and politics. Many organizations around the world have joined in the fight against racism. Even though the U.S. does not have not have as many controversies over racism as other countries might have, we are not immune to this horrible injustice.

1.)
I feel that the only way that racism can be elliminated is to start with ourselves. It begins at home with our parents and our families. We are not born with prejudice, it is something that is taught. From there, it goes to our schools. We should try to be more understanding of our classmates and even our teachers. It doesn't matter what race or color we are, or even the language we speak. What matters is what we have in common. People should be judged on what is in the inside, not what is on the outside. It starts with me.

Another place where you can try to prevent racism, is in the workplace. Even today people are overlooked for jobs or promotions because of their race or gender. Even though this is against the law, it still occurs in many business organizations. People should be judged on their performance, intelligence and how they get along with others.
