How would you classify an interest group that is intended to combat racial discrimination?

Answer Racial discrimination is when an individual or organisation discriminates or acts in predjudice against an individual or group based on his/her/their race. For example if a white person goes into a church that contains mostly black people and that white person is marginalised and not made to feel welcome, and deliberately excluded from activities because they are different (white) then that is racial discrimination.
