Introduction
Racism is a continuous act in our society and has
tremendously impacted so many individuals in
various forms. In this presentation we will be
sharing with you: what is racism, the types of
racism,and the effects of racism. This has been an
age-old issue within our society and we will be

discrimination may leave lasting effects on
individuals.
What is Racism?
Racism is prejudice, discrimination or hatred directed at
someone because of the colour of their skin colour,
ethnicity, or national origin. Racism can be revealed
through people’s actions and attitudes towards another
person.
Racism is also the belief or act, where people are divided
into “races” based on their physical traits, personality,
intellect, morality, and other cultural and behavioural
features.

This term is also applied to political, economic or

legal institutions and systems that engage in or
perpetuate discrimination on the basis of race or
other racial inequalities .
What is meant by the term “Race”?

Race is how people are grouped, based on

shared skin colour and other physical feature.
Race is not based on genetics or science.
Everyone has a racial identity.
 Types of Racism

● Cultural Racism: This is hatred towards one’s culture or
the thought that one culture is more superior than
