What is the Jewish view on racism?
Judaism teaches that all human beings are created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27), and therefore racism is seen as a violation of this fundamental belief. Jews are commanded to love their neighbor as themselves (Leviticus 19:18) and to pursue justice and equality for all individuals. Racism is contradictory to these core principles of Judaism.
Where did the stereotype that asians are good at math come from?
The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has carried out the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). The annual study looks at around 500,000 15/16 year-old students from across the world. The study provides evidence to support the claim that Asians are good at mathematical tests - not quite the same thing as being good at mathematics.

In "Persepolis," racism is depicted through the discrimination and prejudice against Iranians by Western countries. For example, Marjane Satrapi faces racism while living in Austria, where she is insulted and mistreated by people due to her Iranian identity.

Why are there still racial issues in the world?
Racial issues persist due to historical injustices, systemic discrimination, and deeply ingrained biases in societies.

There is no way to act a "race", because the classification of race is a man made concept; however, there is a difference in culture.

Answer 1
This is an important question. Why is there so much antisemitism (hatred or prejudice against Jewish people) in the world now, and why has there been in the past?
Here are some opinions from various contributors1. We don't know.
2. They have set themselves apart. Jews have been remarkably good at maintaining communities within communities. They have maintained their ethnic and religious identity over many generations instead of becoming part of the cultures in which they live. Groups that set themselves apart always attract prejudice. For example, Italian and Irish immigrants were hated for various reasons by many native-born Americans in the 19th century. As they assimilated into the mainstream American culture they did not face the same prejudice (if for no other reason, just because they can't easily be identified as different). Minority groups that do not or cannot assimilate tend to attract prejudice.
3. They have been very successful. Their cultural values encourage education and material success, and so many of them become wealthy and powerful. This naturally attracts the envy of people who are less successful. Instead of respecting other people for their success, many of us find it easier to think that they had some unfair advantage, or there is a conspiracy, etc. (However, at various times and in various places, such as Eastern Europe in the period c.1800-1945 they were despised because of their poverty!)
4. Not everyone hates Jews, although they certainly have their problems with others in this world. I have Jewish friends and have worked for several Jewish bosses, and they were absolutely wonderful to me. You don't have to believe in another's religion (I'm Protestant) but I always love to see some of the ceremonies of different religions if I am invited and consider it an honor.
5. For a long time the Jews were excluded.
It says above, "They have set themselves apart". This needs comment. In Europe, where antisemitism started, the Jews were for several centuries excluded from ordinary society, shunned and in many countries they were forced to live in small, designated areas of towns called ghettos. They were also banned from most occupations. Of particular significance until a little after 1800 was the fact that they were banned from agriculture, which was by far the most important sector of the economy before the rise of industry. Moreover, they weren't just excluded from mainstream society, they were demonized. All kinds of absurd conspiracy theories were invented about the Jews. They were set apart.
6. Conflict in the Middle East
More recently, conflict between Israel and other countries in the Middle East has led to the rise of anti-Jewish feeling in that region and further afield.
7. Misunderstanding, prejudice and jealousy
The same reasons why some people hate other nationalities, other sex orientations, other religions, etc, etc.
8. Antisemitism is self-perpetuating
It has become a kind of tradition. In particular, conspiracy theories about Jews are often seen as interesting and spicy (even if they are not believed), while conspiracy theories about most other groups are just seen as downright boring and get very little attention.
Answer 2
Joy Hakim, the author of the History of US, suggests some possible beginnings of anti-Semitism, which are:
- Jews held onto their culture and refused to convert to Christianity
- Some Christians that believed that anyone that was not Christian (infidels) should be converted or die
- Many Jews had a high economic status, and many people became jealous of their success
- The Theory of Evolution was used against Jews (by Hitler and the Nazis) to attempt to prove that Jews were inferior to the Aryan race.
Comment
Answer 2 merrily mixes possible reasons from a wide range of periods. As for 'high economic status', often in many places Jews were despised for their poverty - for example, in Tsarist Russia.
This is improper stereotyping of a race of people, and, therefore, an offensive question to many people. Black people are no more loud than any other group.
See the related question below about why black people are tough for more information about the problem in society with stereotyping, bigotry, and racism.
Who wrote Racism Antisemitism and Psychoanalysis?
The book "Racism, Antisemitism, and Psychoanalysis" was written by Earl Hopper. It explores the intersection of these topics and how psychoanalytic theory can shed light on racist and antisemitic attitudes and behaviors.
Why are black people so strong?
This is negative, stereotypical and racist thinking. Not all black people are strong; not even a majority are any different than any other group of people. There are many very strong people of all races and there are many who do not have well developed muscles and are weak in all race categories.
For more information about improper stereotyping, see the answer to the related question below about why black people are tough.

What are the negatives of racism?
Racism does not harm only the people hated. The person doing the hating is also harmed. Holding onto irrational fears and refusing to look at other ways of thinking locks you into a rigid thought habit which keeps you from using your full potential. Hating is also harmful to your body. It can cause increased blood pressure, anxiety, heart problems, and digestive system upset.
How did racism affect africans?
Hypertension afflicts 50 million Americans and is most common in African Americans, who are 40% more likely to suffer from it than whites. In addition to studies, which found that genetic differences promote hypertension in African Americans, several medical studies have concluded that racism, which causes psychosocial stress, leads to hypertension and life-threatening illnesses in the black population.
How apartheid affected South Africa?
Apartheid was the tide of racism which threatened the humanity of non-white people across South Africa. In 1948 the first Apartheid Minister, Daniel Malan, was elected into office. By 1950 the first law requiring races to be registered with the state and Apartheid became a catalyst, igniting the nation in the war for civil rights. Through the horrors of the blatant racism South Africa began to form the seeds of what is now its firm grasp of civil rights.
How many whites are rob by blacks in America per year?
These statistics do not exist because the US government is no longer a racist institution as it once was decades ago.
Skin colour does not determine the chance of one committing a crime.
What is black privilege and white disadvantages?
"Black privilege" is not a recognized concept; however, "white disadvantages" could refer to the societal disadvantages and discrimination faced by white people in specific contexts, such as socioeconomic disadvantage or barriers to diversity and inclusion initiatives. It's important to consider these issues within the broader context of racial inequality and structural discrimination.
Are Europeans or Americans more racist?
Racism exists in both Europe and America, and it is not accurate to generalize one region as more racist than the other. It is important to address and combat racism wherever it exists, regardless of location.
Why isn't racism towards white people considered racism?
In the United States, the white population inherently can not be the victims of institutional racism, as throughout US History they have always held a higher place in society over their black and brown counterparts. However, this does not mean that they can't be the victims of personal prejudice, which anybody can be subjected to based on skin color, gender, sexual orientation, etc., regardless of the power hierarchy that's present in the culture at large.
There are examples of racism recorded in the Bible, but the Bible does not teach racism. It specifically denounces it.
The Bible teaching on race is that all of humanity is of "óne blood" as all are descended from one human pair, Adam and Eve, and so are closely related. The concept of race as we know it today is a concept foreign to the Bible writers, although they do speak of "nations"" and "peoples".
Why does racism exist in Australia?
Racism exists everywhere. It is not just prevalent in Australia, but in countries all around the world. Racism exists wherever there are two or more different races of people, and as Australia is a very multicultural country, racism will appear more obvious there.
Racists do not necessarily admit their true motives. So, if you don't want to hire African-Americans, for example, you don't have to say that you didn't hire a given applicant because of his ethnicity, you can claim that he isn't the most qualified applicant. It can be very difficult to prove otherwise. Still, if you have a hundred employees and they are all of European descent, it is going to look very suspicious.
What are the practices similar to racism?
Sad to say, but racism is the worst of ostrichiation, a close second is that we as humans tend to criticise or sit in judgment of anything we do not like or understand, whether it is a culture, a language or a religion.
