Background informations

What exactly is racism?

Racism is a specific form of misanthropy and discrimination.

Racism is understood to mean negative and derogatory attitudes and actions towards another group of people.

Social, cultural or physical characteristics are arbitrarily linked to mostly negative characteristics, behaviors and skills. Racism aims to preserve power structures and privileges and to legitimize their unequal distribution.

Racism can manifest itself in many ways: for example in the form of everyday disadvantage and exclusion, on the level of personal attitudes and prejudices, as institutional discrimination e.g. B. in the labor market or in administrative activities up to degradation insults and violence.
