What is the law that banned discrimination?
Various laws have restricted certain kinds of discrimination in the United States. Like State Legislatures, the Congress of the United States has the power to pass statutes regulating a wide range of activity. The 1964 Civil Rights Act, for example, placed limits on discrimination (among other things) in the workplace and at businesses that are open to the public.
The decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States are another source of law because Supreme Court decisions that interpret the Constitution become the supreme law of the land. Responding to various cases and controvercies that have come before it, the Court has repeatedly ruled that no government entity may discriminate on the basis of race without meeting what is called "strict scrutiny." For governmental discrimination on the basis of race to stand, the government must show both a "compelling interest" and show that no less restrictive means would meet that interest. The practical impact of this requirement is that virtually all governmental race discrimination is prohibited. (One important exception is affirmative action.)
The Supreme Court has similarly ruled that no governmental entity may discriminate on the basis of gender without meeting what the Court calls "intermediate scrutiny." In contrast to strict scrutiny, which requires a compelling governmental interest and narrowly tailored means to that end, the intermediate scrutiny test is slightly easier to pass. To pass intermediate scrutiny and permissibly discriminate on the basis of gender, a governmental entitly must prove an important government interest and must prove the means used to reach that end are substantially related to that interest.
While there has not yet been a law that bans all forms of discrimination in all contexts, stautes passed by Congress and rulings of the Supreme Court have worked together to combat many of discrimination's harmful effects.
What is the most common form discrimination with the exception of racial discrimination?
Even including racial discrimination, I would say that the most common form of discrimination is by gender: it applies to everyone on a daily (or at least near-daily) basis. It affects how we're raised, what we're expected to wear, how we're expected to spend our time, how much we get paid and how likely we are to get promoted, how much we pay for insurance, etc. It's just that we're so used to being treated differently on the basis of our gender that most of us take it for granted.
Does Justin Bieber dislike the Jewish religion?

One of the tenets of the Nazi movement was the idea that there was an "Aryan" race which was a "super-race." This race was supposedly blond, with very pale skin - the Nazi party hates anyone who does not look like this.
Unfortunately for many modern-day Nazis, they do not fit into the "Aryan" model, and would be spurned or executed by actual Nazis.
What is the connection of Racism and Cry the Beloved Country?
Racism plays an important role throughout Cry, the Beloved Country. The story takes place in South Africa during the 1940's, when apartheid was becoming more prevalent. Different scenes are seen throughout the story where Africans are trying to gain more civil rights. Stephen Kumalo's brother is one of the top three politicians in Johannesburg and a scene of a bus protest by black activist. Arthur Jarvis, a white character, is also working to improve the lives of Africans in the city. There are also different chapters that leave the story and describe the hardships of blacks such as a housing situation.
The 1896 case Plessy v. Ferguson upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation in public accommodations under the "separate-but-equal" doctrine. The Supreme Court voted 7-1 (with one abstention). Justice John M. Harlan cast the dissenting vote.
The doctrine was overturned 58 years later by the 1954 Supreme Court decision Brown v. Board of Education.
Is it fair that black people can call each other the n word but white people can't?
White people can very well say the word as much as they'd like, but there would be no reason for a white person to call any being the word unless they are trying to insult or degrade.
On the other, when often used by blacks, it is to take the sting from the meaning it holds and to show understanding of the same struggle.
So, yes, it is fair in the same sense it is fair that blacks and no other would even have to worry about being called that word, and that such a degrading word has been made to be synonymous with a black person.
The Human Rights Act is about respect for, and the promotion and fostering of the rights of individual people through all the functions of a public authority or organization.
Residents should be treated equally and not be discriminated against (color, race, disability or religion), but at the same time treated as an individual and given choices. When communicating you must have a positive obligation to ensure that respect for human rights is at the core of their day-to-day work.

For now, people of European origin ("whites") make up the majority in the US and certainly have the most economic and political clout (generally, not universally). As such, they are expected to enjoy the security of their position, "have broad shoulders" and not suffer as greatly from racism as minorities do.
When the majority becomes a minority, this will likely change.
