Course Description

Description
Racism is the dislike or hatred of another person or group of people who are from a different race to themselves. Racism appears because others are different.

The human race is not a race; it is a species that divides other people into groups or categories who have a different appearance such as skin colour, dress, culture, background and religion. These are placed into convenient groups such as blacks, whites, mixed or Asian, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Jews etc.

Racism is the actual negative treatment towards someone differently or unfairly because they belong to a different group, religion or ethnic community.

Racism has always been here and it probably always will be to some extent because all people world over are different and when people are different they can be perceived as a threat to others in one form or another.

 

  • Racism takes many different forms and includes abusive and insulting or inappropriate language, name calling and insults.
  • Written letters, e-mails or telephone calls expressing a wish to cause harm or threat to intimidate, terrorise or just scare are common.
  • Physical assault or attacks on individuals or groups including violence and murder.
  • Ridicule, mocking, humiliation and jokes.
  • Damage to personal possessions such as property, places of worship, houses, cars.
  • Graffiti, slogans or offensive symbols.

 

There are many reasons for racism or racist behaviour. Some individuals might have a personal vendetta or a need to cause upset and hurt stemming from past personal experiences from someone who was of a different skin colour or background whilst with others it can be a belief that a particular ethnic group or community is perceived as superior or better or a threat to their community and can result in attacks and abuse.

There are many unseen reasons for racism both consciously and unconsciously from internal psychology, past personal one-to-one experiences built on top of other experiences, each experience reinforcing the next, feeling of hate, anger, a sense of threat or ignorance and fear due to misunderstandings or misinterpretation enhanced by stereotypes or faulty absorbed information.

Racism or racialist behaviour comes from our views and beliefs that we develop within our life experiences and each experience reinforces the next, confirming the next and so on until eventually we develop behaviour or a hate of others that can lead to certain actions or treatment of others who are different.

Our beliefs can be strengthened and reinforced from the news we watch on television, newspapers, family and friends and anything in society.

Each reason or racist behaviour appears to be similar to other racist views but each person is unique in what makes them feel and think the way they do towards others who are different to them.

Prejudice is certainly based around lack of knowledge or ignorance and can be accompanied by fear and incorrect or faulty views leading people to develop opinions and ideas with which they lack knowledge on, such as others religions and cultures.

Anyone who has experienced racism such as abuse, intimidation and threat of any kind can lead a person to feel that they have been bullied and can affect them severely emotionally and psychologically resulting in fear and avoidance of others or places.
