Discrimination

still racism.

Contrary to President George W. Bush's announcement "They hate us for our freedom", this is certainly NOT the reason for Anti-American sentiment.

Any person who has been to a foreign country can tell you exactly why Americans are disliked in most countries. Our foreign policy is very problematic in a lot of places. These acts cause resentment. There are some places in the world that would stop hating the USA if the policy were reversed and there are others for whom the damage is already done and the USA would be unable to recover. Major grievances against the USA include:

Economic Imperialism: The United States has an incredible amount of power to shape the economies of other countries. For example, the United States has completely destroyed the endemic Jamaican chicken market by dumping all of its surplus dark meat on Jamaica for prices far cheaper than any Jamaican could produce it. Although such activities are illegal according to the World Trade Organization, the US power in this organization effectively prevents the raising of this claim. Jamaica is not the only recipient of this unequal treatment as the United States engages in over 200 dumping activities annually.

Additionally, as the largest stakeholder in the International Monetary Fund, the United States has an important role in designing the loans that the IMF gives out to developing countries. In many cases, the IMF pushes for an end to trade barriers, which prevents industries from developing in-country and makes those countries import-dependent. Also, many domestic interests cannot be funded such as education and medicare, forcing the country to remain in the same position perpetually. Many African countries have been directly affected by the strings attached to IMF loans.

Support for Certain Countries: There are two parts to this. Firstly, the United States helps to prop of states that other countries vehemently oppose. Some such countries include: Israel, Taiwan, South Korea, East Timor, Turkey, Georgia, etc. Arab hatred of Israel, Chinese hatred of Taiwan, North Korean hatred of South Korea, Armenian hatred of Turkey, and Russian hatred of Georgia, lead to the citizens of those countries disliking American policy. Of course, this is not to say that the American action is illegitimate or incorrect, but the USA has chosen a side and naturally the opposition will feel anger.

Secondly, the United States has supported numerous brutal dictators in various countries, especially in Latin America, like Pinochet (Chile), Noriega (Panama), Batista (Cuba), the Samozas (Nicaragua). About Samoza, FDR famously said, "Somoza may be a son of a b****, but he's our son of a b****." However, the citizens of those countries were less than pleased that mass-murderers were in power over them with the guarantee of US protection, effectively preventing the viability of any resistance. In the Middle East, the United States supported Hosni Mubarak and continues to Mohammed Morsi, two individuals who have consistently attacked and demonized the citizens of Egypt.

CIA Activities and Coups d'Etat: The United States did not just protect governments that were sadistic to their own citizens. In several instances, they helped install them as well. In the case of Pinochet in Chile (in 1974) and the Shah of Iran (in 1953), the CIA actively caused revolts in the country, toppling legitimate governments to put violent dictators in power (Allende in Chile and Mossadegh in Iran). The idea that the USA can replace leaders around the world with impunity is very angering to many individuals.

Cold War Activities: During the Cold War, the United States engaged in numerous proxy wars with the Soviets with many third-world countries as the battlegrounds. Angola was in civil war from 1975-1992 because of the US-Soviet proxy war. The Arab-Israeli Conflict was similarly based as was the Korean War, the Velvet Revolution in Hungary, the Cuban Revolution and the Cuban Missile Crisis, and of course the Vietnam War and the Afghanistan War of 1979-1989. These proxy wars resulted in millions of dead civilians around the world.

Military Bases All Over the World: The United States maintains military bases in over 100 different countries. If this is not a projection of military might, there is nothing that would be.

Unilateralism: The United States consistently avoids working within the bounds of the international community. The USA typically only negotiates with other countries when it suits them. They are more than willing to "go it alone" when everyone disagrees with them. The clearest example of this was the Invasion of Iraq. When US Secretary of State Colin Powell presented the cause to go to war to the United Nations, the other nations refused to go along with the United States. Therefore, instead of backing down and clarifying their research, the Americans invaded Iraq. Callously disregarding someone else's view will certainly anger them.

Aloofness: Many American citizens know almost nothing about other countries and have no desire to learn. They believe that their culture and way of life are so clearly superior to everyone else's that everyone should just aspire to be American. This sentiment is not well-received abroad.

The Immorality Amendment Act forbade adultery or attempted adultery between people of different races. If discovered the participants could be sent to prison, whipped or fined.

Yes it is because all men and women were created equally. So if you think your country is higher that means you think your greater than everybody else.

He noted that racism kept minorities in a state of poverty.

In the history of Germany under the Nazis, there was a lot of hate for Gypsies, just as there was hate and intolerance for other groups. But as a whole, no. All Germans do not hate Gypsies. Hopefully we are growing past hatred as a society, and slowly learning to understand each other rather than nourishing old grudges and hatreds.

Racism should be stopped. How would you feel if people hated you because your skin was whatever color it is? Not good.

Discrimination is the recognition of qualities and differences among certain things or persons and making choices based on those qualities.

Covert discrimination is hidden or subtle discrimination. It is opposed to overt discrimination, which is open and obvious.

Yes, they most certainly are. Although they may seem fairly self-defensive, they are, in fact, discriminated against. Anyone who blames teenagers for theft, anti-social behavior etc; is discriminating against them. This happens globally, everyday and teenagers are often used as a scapegoat for more mature people's behavior.

Graffiti in and of itself is not racist-- there has been graffiti for centuries, in a number of countries. Of course, graffiti is considered vandalism in some cases, since it defaces public property. But not all graffiti carries racist sentiments: some graffiti is just kids signing their names, or politically-motivated adults writing a slogan. There is a stereotype that graffiti comes from gangs (African-American or Hispanic gangs especially), but this is a generality. Often, kids who write on walls are just trying to get attention and are not in a gang at all. But yes, it is true that in some places, some of the slogans written have been racist, and this was especially true during the fight for civil rights, when opponents used graffiti to voice their displeasure. However, it should be noted that a lot of graffiti these days tend to be either anti-Semitic or anti-immigrant.

of course.

because everybody is discriminated.

wether if you are christian or Jewish or budhist.

so yes, all religions should fight racism.

This seems more of a comment than a question...nonetheless, it has a basis of truth;want to talk about an inconvenient truth. The Northern states had plenty of "slaves". They were known as the Irish. Who do you think worked in the mines and the factories?

Any Racist people of all races are normally afraid of, upset at, or intimidated by an intelligent person of the race they are prejudiced against.

For the most part racism with regards to laws, policies and practices of society have laws specifically designed to combat racism. This is certainly true in the United States. Racism polarizes society and inhibits the contributions of minority groups as they do not have the same access to art, media, government, and other areas of society. For the most part the items just described have been addressed and racism in my opinion is not a major stumbling block in Western nations such as the USA. The fact that over the past two Presidential administrations the USA has had Afro-American Secretaries of State, an Afro-American President, an Afro-American Attorney General says allot. We can recall that former US President Bush had Colin Powell as Secretary of State, Condelisa Rice as Secretary of State, are situations that are not found in even progressive Western nations.

I'll give one example of what I mean. To my knowledge no Irish background person has ever been the PM of the UK. If I am wrong please correct me.

The fundamental difference between Christian Anti-Semitism and Nazi Racial Anti-Semitism is a question of redeemability. The former held that the "problem with the Jew" was that he professed a different religion, specifically one whose contribution to history was made obsolete by the coming of Christ and whose adherents crucified the Lord. As a result, a Jew could be converted to Christianity and his soul would be elevated to higher ranks with all other Christian souls. This "lightly" tempered the hand of Christian Anti-Semites since the Jew need not be dead for the "problem" to cease. The latter held that the Jew was genetically/racial/physically an inferior species of creature, in much the same way that chimpanzees are inferior to humans in intelligence. As a result, the only thing that could be done about Jews was to either quarantine them (ghettos), expel them, or (as the Nazis did) exterminate them like vermin.

government can take steps to introduce a free education system through which every child gets the chance ofreceiving education no matter a girl or a boy.government can also put up awareness programs to educate citizens about the adverse effects of genderdiscrimination.

the right to bear arms. gives citizens the right to carry fire arms

Lacking the actual study that provides this data doesn't mean that the statement is untrue, only that a sceptic may want to exercise due caution. IQ studies have not found a single ethnic group or race with demonstrable advantages that can be consistently replicated.

I believe that there are far too many people out there, for whom life is so miserable, that the only way they can feel less miserable is to make someone else feel more miserable than they are. Whether the excuse/target is female bodybuilders or something else, they are the same people everywhere. It must really suck to be them; They aren't even worth the effort of pitying or hating, so don't give them that satisfaction.
