Racism

Booker t washington

Hindus do not have a single view on racism.

Having said that, the caste system is part of Hinduism and is deeply ingrained in their culture to this day.

Some Hindus have abandoned it but many have not.

The caste system can easily be compared to racism.

Racism is never going to stop, but we can reduce it by influencing others to stop. You don't have to accept any form of racist hassle. Everyone, no matter what their nationality or race, has a right to live happily and free from discrimination.

If the problem is in your school, you should approach a member of staff that deals with this type of incident or if you are not sure who to go to - talk to a member of staff who you can trust and tell him/her about what has been going on. You should also tell family and friends about this so that you can also get their help and support. Other parts of your life will suffer if you keep silent. Speak up now before the problem takes over.

Be prepared to speak out and tell people just how it's affecting your life and your well-being. If you are going to alert someone to the fact that you're being threatened, abused or bullied, then do it properly.

Well slavery is the closest. Some people still think whites want them to be slaves but some whites are mad at the black people because they think they're mad about it. The most accurate reason though is they think they act different. It's not really any certain race that acts different though. Some people who meet another race who acts different automatically assume that they all act like that so they go with that and treat them different. They usually cover that up with an excuse of "They just don't go together".

It hurts when you hear that people don't like you because your black. I feel as though I'm not good enough for white people sometimes. But I stay strong and fight my way through the pain. If some racist people opened their eyes and just took a second to see that everybody is equal then maybe they would understand. I mean I know some blacks could be mean,deceitful, and loud but it doesn't mean there the only ones in the world that are. EVERYONE in the world is mean, deceitful, and loud. That's just how it is hate it or love were the same. =)

Institutionalized racism is racism that is part of the rules and customs of an organization, corporation, public or governmental body. The term has been attributed to Stokely Carmichael. He is said to have defined institutionalized racism as "the collective failure of an organization to provide an appropriate and professional service to people because of their color, culture or ethnic origin."

Don't do or say anything that's racist. If you go overboard trying to prove how racist you aren't, that can be seen as a problem as if you're patronizing whatever race it is, and as if it's not from the heart.

The answer may possibly be traced back to Alexander the Great. In those days the Greco-Macedonians were light-skinned, although they are no longer today because Greece has been invaded repeatedly by Asiatic peoples. An African queen wrote a letter to Alexander, and pleaded that he not think himself superior simply because his skin was lighter. As the Age of Exploration began, European countries vied for power with each other, but all regarded themselves as superior to darker-skinned Africans, Asians, Americans, and Australians. * Except for the Australian natives who were entirely tribal, some Africans, Asians, and Americans lived in towns or cities to compare or rival those of Europe. China and India especially had highly-developed cultures when Europe began searching for loot in other parts of the world. * Customs, language, religion, and facial features were certainly factors as well, but there may be many other references to affirm the European "White is Right" mindset. For instance, inhabitants of the "West Indies" were referred to as Red Indians, and those of the "East Indies" were Black Indians. * During the Age of Exploration, an Italian (name unremembered) wrote a book in which he argued that black Africans had been placed on earth by God to serve as slaves for white people, as they were incapable of governing themselves and suited only to physical labor. This belief persisted in America into the 1800's as Colonel William Travis (commander of the Alamo during the Texas-Mexico War) and Colonel William Quantrell (infamous Southern guerrilla leader who never actually held an officer's commission in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War) carried their belief in the slavery of Africans to near-religious extremes. * As a disappointment to racists both black and white, neither is a true color on the visible light spectrum. Black is the total absence of color, and white is all of the colors mixed together harmoniously. Unlike science, human nature is not all black & white, although it continually strives to be with often negative results.

The people just want to be the better race. They might be jealous of a different race. Others just find it easy and fun to make fun of the other race. Everyone is the same. The people's skin just produces a different amount of melanin.

Racism effects sport as people in the same team or on the opposing team don't play to the best of their ability. They feel discriminated and left out. It may also influence children and teenagers to use racist comments because they are trying to blend in with there mates which will think he is cool being racist.

Historically, in the United States, it was permitted to put a land-covenant on a piece of property making it illegal to sell the land to any Jew or Black. For example, say I (White-Landower) go to sell my piece of land. I could write in my bill of sale that attaches to the land a prohibition on any person owning or living on that land who is a Jew or Black. If I sell to a White and he then sells to a Black, I have the right to forcibly evict the Black man from the home he bought, because it was illegal for the second White man to violate the covenant provision to sell the land to the Black man. Courts used to uphold these suits and evictions, meaning that Jews and Blacks were effectively quarantined into ghettos since a large number of White-Landowners used these land-covenants. (Thankfully, this was outlawed in the 1960s, but it is a good example.)

Sadly, far too many people are victims of racism. Even one is too many but an accurate count would be impossible to give you.

Let's look at some facts here, shall we?

Three important statistics and facts about racism against Hindus :

There were 8.8 million Hindus in Pakistan in 1951. Now, there are less than 1 million Hindus only. They are not converted; they are butchered to the present level. In 1951, Hindus constituted 22 percentage of the Pakistani population.

In 2006, the last Hindu temple in Lahore was destroyed to pave the way for construction of a multi-storied commercial building. When reporters from Pakistan-based newspaper Dawn tried to cover the incident, they were accosted by the henchmen of the property developer, who denied that a Hindu temple existed at the site.

Approximately nine percent of the population of Malaysia are Tamil Indians, of whom nearly 90 percent are practicing Hindus. Indian settlers came to Malaysia from Tamil Nadu in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Between April to May 2006, several Hindu temples were demolished by city hall authorities in the country, accompanied by violence against Hindus.[131] On 21 April 2006, the Malaimel Sri Selva Kaliamman Temple in Kuala Lumpur was reduced to rubble after the city hall sent in bulldozers.

On 2 January 2012 in the USA a Hindu worship center in New York City was firebombed.

To encourage an awareness of attitudes that exist today.

Institutional racism causes interpersonal racism.

racism and Ethnocentricity
Racial bigotry

Racism, homophobia and religious hatred are all just examples of bigotry.

The bigotry of Western settlers often extended to Mexicans as well as Indians.

Depends on your angle. And where you live.

In general, it affects everyone. In the US, African Americans are affected by racism more than the Caucasian majority of the country. This is mostly due to the fact that for many years after the US won its independence, Americans used Africans as slaves. Hispanics are also treated unfairly and suffer from racism, though not as much.

Whenever one group of people consider themselves to be 'above' or 'superior' to another, it is an unfortunate aspect of our humanity that we will treat the 'lesser; group badly. This can be demonstrated in everyones office building, Do the executives know all the janitorail staff on a first name basis? Do you? Regardless of race - change is often hard for people to accept and often the first emotion to surface is hostility - as a defense mechanism.

"A true and appropriate answer to our race problem, as to many others, would be a restoration to our communities - it being understood that a community, properly speaking, cannot exclude or mistreat any of its members. This is what we forgot during slavery and the industrialization that followed, and have never remembered. A proper community, we should remember also, is a commonwealth: a place, a resource, and an economy. It answers the needs, practical as well as social and spiritual, of its members - among them the need to need one another. The answer to the present alignment of political power with wealth is the restoration of the identity of community and economy." -Wendell Berry

I couldn't agree with him more. We cannot just try to fix problems that come to the surface. we need to tackle the the root of the problem, and that comes from within ourselves and within our communities.
