Introduction:
Racism, It is strange beliefs of people that some of them are
distinguish from the others. It is a conflict that generate by human being for
who is the superior and how is inferior to make it a reason to exceed the rules
and offence on people rights. That could lead to justify crimes against
humanity, breach of justice, loss of rights and internal wars.
Do you know how racism came to existence? Well, the discrimination started
after people from different regions live together in the same community.
Therefore, some of them want to take an advantage by the group that he or she
belongs to (blacks and whites for example)
History

of war against people who inferior to them and consider themselves as the purest
human races.
In 1950 in South Africa, A law issued to
allocate places to separate whites from blacks and forced to put barriers
around areas where African live, but the African fought and struggle to take
their rights and defeat the racism.
Meanwhile, the black Americans have suffered
from racial discrimination and unfair treatment by US government who supporting
white people and priorities them than black Americans.
Is racism limited to the difference in colors
only?
With the passage of time. Racism has changed to
different forms. It becomes even between the same groups of people. It becomes
huge, complicated and strange as well.
Types:
Sectarianism
Sectarianism is one type of racism that arise when there are two parties
or more in one community. In addition, there is some common factors between
them, such as language and customs. This racism leading to civil war for
example, conflicts between nationalists and unionists in Northern Ireland.
Religious racism
Religious racism is somewhat different from
those may arise in some countries and is no in other countries. What ignites
that racism and intolerance are the discord and accidents that do it one of the
categories that belong to some religions, leading to conflicts and this kind of
racism infectious disease and may move from one country to another, as is the
case in India (Buddha, and Muslims) and in the other countries.
The ethnic racism
One of the oldest racism exerted on humanity
from a long time ago. It was practiced ethnic racism between whites and blacks and
other ethnicities living in the same geographic area. Now in this days the
ethnic racism is subtle or not practiced openly and but for this type of
activity has faded and now practiced lightly. It was been practiced in American States about
350 years ago.

of working life, social, intellectual and other areas of life that women can
excel through it and add their mark in this life.
Stereotypes
it is an idea or an image comes to human mind when someone heard about a
group of people in somewhere.
We saw many examples of racial stereotypes. Racial stereotypes could be
positive like:
1.
Black people are good athletes. They are fast, great basketball players
and most of them are in good shape.
2.
Asian are smart, hard workers, technology lovers.
3.
Arabs are rich because of oil and they can make a good money.
It could be negative as well like:
1.
Asian should not drive a car.
2.
All white people are racist.
3.
Muslims are terrorist.
Negative stereotypes are effect people who not related to all of those.
This can make harassments in some places like work or school and that
effect on the performance.
Feel frustrated of living under discrimination pressure.
Not feeling safe and peace of mind.
Because of that, people start to make campaigns to prevent racism
Campaigns against racism

racism and discrimination. The title of this campaign is No to racism. This
campaign is being priorities after players from different countries suffered
from racial discrimination.

This Australian campaign aim to raise the awareness of people that
racism is unacceptable in Australian community and stops any organizations that
try to do any racism activities.
Conclusion
In the end, we should rise of cultural awareness to help people
understand the variety of people colors, beliefs and emotions

the standard of living makes people live together to build the future for the
next generation, and live without discrimination.
