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).
One view holds that racism is best understood as 'prejudice plus power' because without the support of political or economic power, prejudice would not be able to manifest as a pervasive cultural, institutional or social phenomenon.dditionally, the OED records racism as a synonym of racialism : belief in the superiority of a particular race. By the end of World War II, racism had acquired the same supremacist connotations formerly associated with racialism: racism now implied racial discrimination, racial supremacism and a harmful intent.
