Probably that racism in the USA was institutionalized,or was the law at one time enforced by respectable services such as the police force, segregation was a way of life in America, which is still ingrained in some people minds even today. However racism in Canada is more on individual basis, a person may be racist or have a racist behavior, so that differ a lot, since it has never been enforced by law.

Who is affected by racism and why?

EVERYBODY!Answer: In the US and Canada, I think racism mostly affects the minorities such as blacks or any visible minority, plus invisible minorities such as Jews gays and lesbians. I think there's still a black gang in the US called The Black Panthers.not a gang I think they were known as a criminal gang, but maybe they were a racist gang against whites.

How was the Indian caste system similar to racism in the US?

Indian caste system is not like racism in the US. Racism was not originated in the US but it was produced soon after the British founded a strong base in the southern part of the US. Racism is not descent based. Racism doesn't have any touchability or untouchability issues. Indian caste system is descent-based. A Hindu is born with caste, lives with caste and die with caste. An American is not born with racism. Indian caste system is monstrous endogamic in character. Purity and impurity is the basis of the caste system. A casteless Dalit's touch will pollute a caste person. But the touch of an African American doesn't pollute a white American. Racism is purely class-based, where as casteism is caste-based and there is no place for caste-ridden society. Hinduism is caste and caste is hinduism. If caste is annihilated hinduism will be annihilated; or if hinduism is annihilated, caste will be annihilated.
