racism
Racism is difficult to define, whether that be in a book or a single line on a blog page. Dictionary definitions are insufficient and inherently biased but to elaborate on the theme of many, racism is the prejudice, discrimination, and antagonism by an individual or group of people towards another person or group of people based on their race. The key aspect to this discrimination is the difference in power dynamics between the two people or groups.
