Study Notes
Racism and Xenophobia
- Racism involves the belief that some races are superior to others, failing to acknowledge the equal rights and dignity of all races, leading to discrimination and hatred.
- Xenophobia is the fear or dislike of strangers or people from foreign countries, derived from Greek words ("stranger" and "fear").

-
Institutional Racism: Happens within organizations and systems (schools, workplaces). Unfair rules and practices lead to unequal outcomes for different races, sometimes favouring certain groups.
