What is racism? Racism can be defined as prejudice or discrimination directed against someone of a different race based on such a belief. Racism can be seen throughout our world today with stereotypes and discrimination against various ethnic groups and religions. For example, after the 9/11 Terrorist attacks, stereotypes began to be associated with Muslims and Islamics due to the fact that the terrorist attacks were organized and committed by Islamic Extremists, specifically al-Qaeda.
Racism is a world issue because it impacts our entire world and how we as a society few certain ethnic groups and religions. Even though in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms section 2b states: "Freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression," racism is not within reasonable limits and is frowned upon in society. Eliminating stereotypes, prejudice or discrimination directed at various races, racism can be stopped in our world.
