Racism

Racism is a belief system or ideology that assumes one race or ethnic group is superior or inferior to others. It often involves prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior. This can manifest in social actions, practices, beliefs, or political systems that consider different races to be ranked as inherently superior or inferior to each other.
