The anion gap blood test is a calculated value that comes from the results of an individualâs electrolyte panel. It is used to determine what a personâs anion and non-anion gap happens to be in regards to excess acid levels that may exist in the body.
Prejudice is when someone is biased for or against a person or idea. Discrimination is when someone can discern between multiple ideas. Unfair discrimination is when someone approves or disapproves of one idea over others because of a trivial difference. Racism is a form of prejudice based on race.
Importantly, the power one group has over another transforms prejudice into racism and links individual prejudice with broader social practices (Jones, 1997). Central to most definitions of racism is the belief in a biological hierarchy between different social groups based on perceived racial differences.
