RACISM Racism is a certain kind of prejudice, based on faulty reasoning and inflexible generalizations toward a specific group. The word prejudice comes from the Latin noun praejudicium, which means a judgment based on previous decisions formed before the facts were known. If a person allows their prejudiced beliefs to block the progress of another, it is discrimination. Those who exclude all members of a race from certain types of employment, housing, political rights, educational opportunities, or a social interactions are guilty of racial discrimination. Racism is an unmerited fear or dislike of a people because of their ethnic heritage. When color is not a reason, other reasons such as language, religion, nationality, education, sex, or age become the reason of prejudice. Sociologist, historians, anthropologist believe racial discrimination happens more often and most harshly when two groups with different skin color and unique physical features come into contact with each other and the two compete for the same thing.
