Racism

There have been three separate Race Discrimination Actspassed by the British Parliament during the reign of queen Elizabeth II. The first Act was passed by Parliament in 1976, and the most recent in 2000 under the Blair Labour government. The laws cover discrimination on grounds of "race or religion." All these laws cover allegations of race discrimination against persons of any race (including Caucasian, whites, as well as blacks and Asians) and also including such ethnic groups as travellers and gypsies. The original Act in 1976 outlawed race discrimination in "public authority functions", which included the Police, education and all UK Local government Authorities covering such issues as housing. That is now the law in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The laws have since been tightened and following the Act of 2000 the Laws now cover a wider range of public authority functions as well as also extending the laws to private sector organisations carrying out public authority functions. There is also now "a duty" on specific public authorities to promote "racial equality". A body called the "Commission for Racial Equality" was brought into existence under the 1976 Act, and that body has been given extended powers in the 2000 Act to enforce the special duty and its powers also extended to enforce specific duties imposed on UK "Public Authorities Another update has made Chief Officers of Police Forces everywhere in the U.K. as vicariously liable for acts of discrimination committed by policemen under their command.

Racism exists in many minds of many people all over the earth, so it's hard to pinpoint where it takes place the most. Just because there may not be many in any given place whose actions aren't based in racism, such as segregating, profiling, etc., it doesn't mean racism doesn't exist there and that anyone who lives there isn't discriminatory.

In the original "West Side Story," racism is prominently depicted through the tension between the Jets, a white gang, and the Sharks, a Puerto Rican gang. The Jets express their prejudice through derogatory language and violence against the Sharks, illustrating the social divide and hostility towards Latino immigrants. Additionally, the characters face discrimination in their romantic relationships, particularly with Tony and Maria, as their love is challenged by the racial animosity of their respective communities. This racial conflict serves as a central theme, highlighting the destructive impact of racism on individuals and communities.

Black people are not allowed to be racist so much as they are free to be racist as much as any other person of another racial group. While it is not at all condoned, if it is a black persons point of view, there is not much to be done about it. All others can do is teach acceptance to the ignorant and preach tolerance to the intolerant.

racism affects our society in many ways like we have all heard the saying that unity in diversity and this gets disturbed we should always be helpful to the poor and needy racism will ruin the country.

At the beginning of time. When a group of our cave-dwelling ancestors were running from the cave bear, it was unfortunately the lame guy who trailed the rest of the pack. Even back then, the disabled were accomodated as much as possible, if times were good, but when things got tough, the most able were the ones who survived.

Employment discrimination has existed as long as multi-ethnic societies have. The dominant ethnicity wishes to hoard technological know-how and financial power by preventing minority groups from having a political stake (that comes with a true equality in employment).

Yes they did, European cultures and its religion called them "godless heathens." This practice still goes on today although in more limited areas.

Lots.

As a small comparison to the world's homophobically provoked suicidal statistics, a small city the size of Quatar has had 40 children kill themselves in a year.

So about 5 million children.

Children are innocent. All they know of is their parents' teaching. Therefore, they grow up thinking the racism is alright because they don't know any different and that's what they've been taught.

The term for extreme nationalism is nativism, which can lead to racism.

Maybe if people could just join together, just once! and just talk, conversation, we're all human. If we can learn to forget all about stereotypes and all that stuff, we could end racism, or at least decrease it.

The differences between ageism and racism are that ageism refers to discrimination pertaining to age groups (usually senior citizens) and racism refers to discrimination and as well xenophobia due to ethnic background differences. Both stem from ignorance and fear.

It was not only individual and personal, it was state sponsored.

It depends on which side you are asking about, and there is a distinction. In the Axis countries it was state-sponsored but not always individual. The Allied countries used Asians and Africans for propaganda purposes in an effort to develop a united popular front, but many instances of individual and official racism can be found, and many instances of non-racism on the Axis side. I have cited a few of them below.

* In anyone's air force, only an officer can fly a fighter. Ergo, the all-black US 99th Fighter Squadron (the Tuskegee Airmen) had to be officers. Yet, a captured German pilot was surprised that he was allowed into the white restroom while a pilot of the 99th was not.

* The US 361st Tank Battalion (the Black Panthers) was a black unit commanded by white officers, and part of General Patton's US 3rd Army. For whatever faults he had (and there were many), Patton was not a racist, as were other whites who fought with the 361st. Still, the 361st suffered repeated instances of racism because they were a black unit.

* The 442nd Regimental Combat Team (the Nesei Regiment) was made up of Japanese-Americans and commanded by white officers. While lying in a hospital bed after being wounded in action, one of these Nesei soldiers formed a lifelong friendship with a wounded white solder from the 10th Mountain Division. Later they would become Senatator Daniel Inouye (d) and Senator Robert Dole (r).

* Joe Louis and Max Schmeling were used for propaganda purposes. In their first boxing match, Schmeling defeated Loius. In the rematch, Loius defeated Schmeling. As a punishment for losing the rematch, Schmelling was drafted into the German paratroopers and dropped on Crete in 1941 where the Nazis still hoped to milk him for whatever propaganda value he had left. From his hospital bed after being wounded in action, Schmeling refused to testify that he had seen wounded German soldiers bayoneted on the ground by the New Zealanders. [Some of the New Zealanders were Maoris with no respect for European fairplay, and this incident most certainly happened, but Schmeling did not claim to witness it.] On the Allied side, Joe Louis wore a US Army uniform during the war, but he was also used for propaganda and had no more civil rights than any other black US soldier. Although they were political pawns used against each other, Loius and Schmelling superceded it and remained friends after the war.

* General Erwin Rommel was ordered by Berlin to execute Jewish Battalion members of the captured Free French Brigade. He violated these orders by transferring them to the Italian Army where their lives would be spared. Later when he captured Tobruk, white South African officers demanded separate accommodations from their black NCOs and enlisted. Rommel turned down their request and put them all in the same pen. Rommel was a cold and calculating German general, but he was not a Nazi, nor was he a racist.

* Of all the Allied military organizations, the US Navy was probably the most racist, using African volunteers only as cooks and ammunition handlers, and they were forbidden to serve in a fighting capacity. One of these cooks found a chance to break this rule on the first day of the war, shooting down two Japanese planes at Pearl Harbor, but he was the exception.

* When offered command of various units, General Stilwell always responded that he would take anyone who would fight. As he commanded Nationalist Chinese who often deserted, he might have used anti-Asian slurs, but the word "anyone" implies that he did not care what color his troops were, as long as they would fight.

* Whereas General Patton distinguished German from Nazi, Admiral Halsey made numerous racial slurs against his Japanese enemy. It is not known whether Halsey actually hated the Japanese or merely used racism for propaganda purposes.

* The Japanes hoped to incite British, French, and Dutch colonials to join them in the fight against their imperial masters, but Japanese racism showed in its propaganda which was more insulting to the native colonials than to the imperial masters.

* When World War 2 began, the German SS accepted only those of pure German blood, but they relaxecd their racist standards to replenish casualties later in the war, accepting non-German soldiers from other Axis countries and even occupied countries.

The Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) was founded in 1942 as the Committee of Racial Equality

Nationalism to an extreme can stir up xenophobic sentiments against "foreigners, drifters, anyone who is received to be not of the counrtry."

Nationalism is generally placing one's own country first, and therefore percieved foreign people can be categorized generally in the form of racism.

The more extreme form of nationalism is facism, nationalism is believeing in one country's greatness and facism is believeing one country's greatness and all other countries' terribleness.

Ex: The USA stations countless young soldiers all over the world in bases (publically or not), alot of times rape and murder will be done by the soldiers (borned young men with no women around) and it will stir up alot of anger as unlike a normal rape/murder everyone who feels patriotic will have a common ground to vent the anguish on. Furthermore it is more beneficial for the community to vent on foreigners or people not percieved as patriotic as it gives everyone a common enemy and promotes unity, giving more support to those who claim they'll do something about it.

Because of people like you,

First off i get along with more white middle class hard working Americans then i do with most middle class African-Americans. The problem lies in their race for material wealth. They have lost touch with the connection to the natural world and natural time. They are told here in any other place in the world were wealth is so abundant that you are what you have in your wallet. You have to look no further then the public school system and the media. They both are controlled by the same people and they tell them whatever they want to believe. Most immigrants in America are here because of the inflation of goods caused by the American govt. Automatically the racist Americans feel that they have more right then they do just look at what has been happening in Iraq. You know the media still says that people in Iraq are still fighting for Saddam, but if someone invaded your country what would you do. So they think by knowing whats wrong that they imply that they are right and curses everything else. If you do the research most common household neccessities in the American houses are from and invented by other countries. Soap,Paper,running water these are all things invented by other people of other countries yet they insist that the 3rd world is savage and backwards when they need them to succeed. In return what other countries have done for the racists Americans they have privatised everything that's why when you go to places like China you now see Mcdonalds and other American made industries and do you think that money is going to them. until we realize that we are all in the same boat we will all be taking scraps off the table of people that have kept all of us subservient since the dawn. Oh and for the record White racists your the minority now how does it feel. look up the 10 planks to communism manifesto on the inter-net and it will show how the American govt has slowly through-out American history installed these steps and racism has a big part to do with it.

Beginning in 1948, the ruling white Afrikaners established separate states and social rules for the black majority in order to maintain control of the country in the face of the many new independent African states. This segregation prevented the black populace from gaining political or economic power within the country.
