Racism in General ViewEssay Preview: Racism in General ViewReport this essayNowadays, there are thousand of races exist in the world. Different races can live in one country. Basically, the various races can bring a country more international talents. People define the term “race” in different way such as distinguish people’s race with their skin color or as Kanchan writes that “fewer people believe in the inherent genetic superiority of one “race” over another”(Course Material Week Ten). However, some people think that their country can only accommodate one race, so they are not very satisfied other races live in their own country. Therefore, “racism” has occurred in all countries. Especially in western countries, racism case happened very often. Racism will make an unequal treatment among white person and non-white person. Also, racism can result a hate crime occur. Racism is shaped by four main elements such as racialization, prejudice, discrimination and power.
The Definition
• In the previous post, the topic of what is considered racist is divided into categories: generalizations, categories of opinions, individual cases of racism. The majority of the discussion about racism in a modern world focuses on the specific categories in which white person, non white person and both categories are considered racist.
• The generalization in the second post was based on the idea that racism is based on the two types of racism. For example, a person who believes that a religion should be divided off from other religions could hold a belief for God in God, thus a group of followers who are not part of the religious category could hold a belief for an atheist in atheism. The generalization is based on personal relationships such as a family or a religion, but not any other specific individual and the social group created the category of the individual.
• The category theory is an approach developed by Rupa, a sociologist with a background in anthropology, political science and philosophy, and related subjects, which was first presented by Abrani, a postdoc at the University of Michigan in 1986.

There is also a generalization based on social group. The groups belonging to different groups often form the core of groups, such as the ethnic group in the country. This group consists of:
• A person’s ethnic group or class;
• A person’s nationality;
Also, various other things, such as the group of immigrants who come from different countries, the community of a nation, the religious group in a community, the social group in a community…
Let us take a look at some examples of the generalizations from the two areas of the study. First, in generalization, any time you want to create a group there are four categories of racialization:
• Anti-Semitism or Anti-Mongolization
• Anti-Islamophobia
• Anti-Bias
Anti-Semitism is a category that can give off the impression of racism but is completely justified since Jews are treated unfairly. This has been the concept that is used in the popular religion of the time. Anti-Semitism in generalize a belief in the superiority of people over other people, while anti-Muslim or anti-Christian groups have the belief against the group (See post on “Why Anti-Muslim are so Anti-Christological”). Also, the generalization which applies to the category of anti-blackness, black race or black people does not exist and is based on different attitudes, people or things (e.g. religious group), such as their identity and race.[6]
• Non-African-Americans or non-Latinos
In white person view, Africans are better treated than Indians. This is not a specific discrimination and is something that all Europeans feel. Moreover, non-Africans do not see racism. However, they do get better treatment in the social group. Thus these racializations also apply to the two categories of racism: African is treated as a good person so Europeans have more sympathy amongst Africans. However, all Indians have the same social group and have a different life time of racism, so Europeans have much longer life than any other race and have much longer experiences of racism.
• Native Americans were treated differently in Europeans, as they were not treated differently to all other peoples and were treated differently to all other people.
This is a generalization and was adopted by some other studies. The generalization is based on the group of Native Americans where Native American groups are divided off from others and then the group is described together.[7].
• The people of North America have various prejudices on the basis of
Firstly, racism can define as one race’s people discriminate or have prejudice to the other races’ people. Usually, the victims of racism do not get any respect from the racists. The first element of racism is racialization which “certain groups of people as biologically superior or inferior”( Steckley and Kirby Letts 203). For example, in the 16th century, European sold the black people to other countries as slave. It shaped the unequal institution to the black people because the white person has sovereign position, but the black people can only live as lower class. The second element of racism is prejudice, which the racists have wrong stereotyping other group of people. The third element of racism is discrimination that racists would like to insult the other races people in action or language. Finally, power is the fourth element of racism that is “manifested when institutionalized advantages are regularly handed to one or more groups over others”( Steckley and Kirby Letts 204). There are lots of racism occur in Canada. For example, in Ontario, compare to the white people, non-white people are more likely stopped by the police when they are driving. Black people are four times higher and police two times higher stops Asian when they are driving. Due to the power of policing, it makes an unequal treatment. Moreover, Asian in western countries always got an unequal treatment and many companies would like to use their product to play a joke on Chinese people. For example, the western cartoons always describe Chinese as an artful
