In simple terms, racism is the belief that distinct human races exist and that one race is superior to another. This definition is generally agreed by the Oxford English Dictionary, Merriam-Webster Dictionary (USA) and the Macquarie Dictionary (Australia).
Racism. Racism has existed throughout human history. It may be defined as the hatred of one person by another -- or the belief that another person is less than human -- because of skin color, language, customs, place of birth or any factor that supposedly reveals the basic nature of that person. It has influenced wars, slavery, the formation of nations, and legal codes.
