Racism, xenophobia and intolerance are common

problems in all societies. But each and every one of


us plays a role on a daily basis in either contributing
to or breaking down racial prejudice and intolerant
attitudes.

There are several types of racism for which people


can feel discriminated against or be victims of
inequalities:

aversive racism. It is a type of subtle racism because


it is generally used by people who are openly
against racism and racist behavior.

ethnocentric racism. This type of racism is based on


the cultural superiority of the group itself, so it
assumes that other different groups pose a cultural
threat.

Symbolic racism. Symbolic racism advocates the


right to be equal, but with nuances: the right to be
equal exists, but for specific areas or certain
situations.
biological racism. It is the least tolerant type of
racism. He understands that one race is biologically
superior to the others, that they threaten to
degenerate the race that is considered the main one.
