What beliefs do people invoke to try to justify racism?
Some beliefs used as an excuse include "the [holy book] says so" (seen in various texts, depending on interpretation), "they're a different colour skin so they must be of the devil" (more of an ignorance than a belief), "my race/colour/religion is the only real one so I should eliminate the other fake ones" (e.g. Aryanism), and "God/an angel told me in my dreams that they should be oppressed" (often seen in cults).
What is political correctness?
Political Correctness ("PC") involves using language that is intended to be less offensive. Rather than referring to someone as "Fat", politically correct language might suggest that the individual is "stout" or "robust" or that an overweight woman is "full figured", but true politically correct speech would not refer to the size of an individual at all.
When talking about yourself, you can always call it as you see it. "While it's true that I may not be perfect, I move well for a tall fat guy."
It is when all hope is lost for being honest and upfront. It is when an issue is tailored,so as to not offend someone at the expense of accuracy and integrity of the statement/opinion. (remember the story of the Emperor has no clothes)
Political Correctness (PC) refers to using non-offensive terms to describe people or groups, usually when older terms have gained derogatory connotations. The term comes originally from the desire of politicians to avoid offending minorities or other groups and thereby lose votes or support. It has extended to any subject matter where there is sensitivity, bias, or historical resentment. "Being PC" (Politically Correct) may itself be criticized as being inaccurate, vague, or excessively euphemistic, or as pandering.

How do you get back into society after getting out of prison?
Hopefully you used your time in prison to better yourself, whether educationally, spiritually, or both. The main thing is to avoid breaking the law again. Integrate. Get a job, get a place to live. If you can afford a car, get one if you have a need. Enjoy the freedom of not being incarcerated. It is not very hard to avoid breaking laws. If you didn't utilize your time in prison to improve your education, now is a great time to start. It makes you more employable and will help you integrate with people who (a) don't break the law or (b) break the law but are better than you were about not advertising it. Avoid any temptations that may cause you to relapse into breaking the law, if your crime was one that involved temptations and not just greed. You know from experience that no matter how bad you think things are now, they can always get worse.
When was common law precedent enacted or affected?
Common law precedent simply refers to the tradition in the Anglo-American legal system of following the rules set down in previous cases involving the same facts. As such, there is no particular time when common law precedent was enacted or affected as a general matter. Each particular precedent came into being when the first case that addressed the issue was decided.
In my opinion: No, Nigel Farage is the least racist person of all. All Nigel Farage wants is for Britain to have control of our own immigration policy and not be DICTATED to by our old German Enemy.
In general employees can discriminate for any reason other than those specified in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which stipulates:
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII) prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
So technically an employer could discriminate based on most anything you could imagine.
Practically speaking, how would an employer ever be aware that a potential employee was part of a class action lawsuit? This strikes me as an unwise topic to bring up during an interview. Definitely not the thing to add when the interviewer asks about anything else you'd care to share.

Why do dictators need to find scapegoats for their nation's ills?
Answer 1
Dictators can gain popular support by blaming the problems of their nation on a scapegoat. In general people like the idea of blaming their problems on someone else. That exonerates them from facing their own personal responsibility. If sacrifices need to be made, people usually prefer for someone else to have to make them.
Answer 2
It helps to unite the people against a common enemy, and add to their power.

What rights does a supervisor have for being falsely accused of racism?
yes, fire the accuser. an employee has falsely accused you of racism, that is lying and can be considered a hostile act in the work environment.
More information:
A supervisor falsely accused of racism may fire the employee ONLY if the accusation was made deliberately with knowledge that the accusations are without merit. If after investigation and/or hearing on the matter, it is determined that the accusations did not amount to actionable racism BUT were made in good faith, the supervisor has no right to take any action.
Any adverse action taken against an employee after a finding that the accusations were made in good faith would constitute prohibited retaliatory action and the supervisor could be punished for that alone.

Are Puerto Rican's discriminated against in the United States?
They have been, and still are in some places by some individuals. Racism exists, and it perhaps should never be condoned. It should in fact be stood up to at every opportunity and that means ridding our language of offensive language as a start.
