WHAT IS RACISM?
13.05.2015 22:04
Racism is understood as the defense of racial sense of an ethnic group, especially when living with another or others, and designates the anthropological doctrine or political ideology based on this feeling.
Grant or withhold rights or privileges based on race or refuse to associate with people because of their race is known as racial discrimination.
Attitudes, values and racist systems establish, openly or covertly, a hierarchy between ethnic or racial groups, used to justify the privileges or advantages which enjoys the dominant group.
To combat racism, the United Nations adopted in 1965 the International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of racial discrimination and established on March 21 as International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
