The classification of races is
based on the idea of biological classification of human beings according to
the morphological characteristics such as skin color or face. Unlike race,
ethnicity is generally not allocated externally by other individuals.
Scientists say that race is an objective and naturally occurring division of
humanity, and that there is a strong relationship between biological race and
other human phenomena. Thus, race is said to be a valid scientific category
that can be used to predict individual and group behavior. Some sociologists
and biologists believe that race is a man-made artificial distinction and a
social construct. The best way to understand race is to recognize the overlap
of socially organized boundaries with biological and genetic elements. There
are clearly biological differences between races, and the criteria used in
actually classifying races are artificial and social.
Prejudice refers to pre-determining something, which is often the
negative view of an individual or group of individuals based on social
stereotypes. It should be borne in mind that this bias is a belief and may not
be interpreted as discrimination. Racism is the treatment of individuals
differently according to race, and there are many types of racism. Racism is
generally for a small group, but it can also be for the majority of the
population. Assimilation of a minority group into a large group can be seen as
a form of racism. Race often stratifies society. Race, pollution, and racial
marriage are some of the ways race is stratifying society.

Many types of racism were most
interesting. Among them, the term racism in the past was surprising, and it is
a form of inequality caused by racism in the past, which means that it affects
the current generation due to discrimination between the parents. Historical
social imbalance is a problem to overcome, so we must try to overcome it.

I know racism is wrong, but
people still prefer white over black. What are some ways to overcome this?

What do you think about banning
racism by law?
It would be better to limit racism to the law than to make it worse. Just as Germany has a ban policy on racism.
