Difference Between Discrimination and Racism

• Categorized under Language , Words | Difference Between Discrimination and Racism

The term “racism” refers to prejudices, hatred and misconceptions against an individual or a group of individuals based on the idea of racial superiority.

Racism can also be defined as racial discrimination, but the term “discrimination” itself refers to a broader concept, which entails the unjust or prejudicial treatment of other people on the basis of race, sex, gender, sexual orientation, age, height, physical features or skin color.

The two concepts stem from the idea of “prejudice.” In fact, in both cases the underlying idea is the superiority of one person (or a group of people) over another individual or group, on the grounds of prejudices and stereotypes. Therefore, both discrimination and racism fall under the umbrella of prejudice, but, at the same time, racism can be seen as a subcategory of discrimination.

Both ideas have led – and continue to lead – to cases of violence and hatred.

Racism and discrimination cause fights, discrepancies and controversies within and among societies, and can lead to extremist and violent ideas. While the two sentiments have always been a part of the human nature, they are exacerbated by extremist and nationalist political discourses.

In recent years (2017), racism and discrimination have grown on the back of large waves of migration, especially in Europe but also in the United States, and we are witnessing a growth of extremist and discriminatory movements all over the world.
