RACISM
Racism is the belief that characteristics and abilities can be
attributed to people simply on the basis of their race and that some
racial groups are superior to others. Racism and discrimination have
been used as powerful weapons encouraging fear or hate of others
in times of conflict and war, and even during economic downturns.
Racism is also a very touchy subject for some people, as issues
concerning free speech and Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights come into play. Some people argue that talking
about supporting racial discrimination and prejudice is just words and that free speech should allow such
views to be aired without restriction. Others point out that these words can lead to some very dire and
serious consequences (the Nazi government policies being one example).
