Racism Within Contemporary Society
Racism is a terminology embedded in the day-to-day conversations of every individual in the world. The etymology of the word racism can be traced back to the early 20th century, in the 1902 Oxford English Dictionary describing the U.S. policy about Native Americans (Howard, 2016). Initially, the term racism was used concurrently with 'racialism.' There are two significant developments that popularized the term-the propaganda against anti-Semitism, which focused on targeted incidences against Jews in Nazi Germany 1930s and during World War II. U.S. civil rights activism in the 1960s both globally and within the U.S., where there was an indication of economic imbalance between Black and White Americans. The term racism exists in the independent and plural form, its definition evolving ever-changing in historical, political, and socio-cultural connections. Racism refers to the concept that races entail populations of people whose physical differences are intertwined to distinguished cultural and social differences, making such inherent hierarchical variations calculable (Golash-Boza, 2016,p131). Racism also pertains to sets of attitudes and indifferent behaviors towards racial and ethnic contradictions. Various prejudices have been marked to align racialized groups as 'other'. Certain philosophies can be conscripted into the British curriculum to approach this topic by critically scrutinizing the individualized, institutional, and cultural molds of racism.
The individual, institutional and cultural forms of racism constitute prejudices towards races and ethnicities, which aim towards demeaning other ethnic minorities as embedded in bias, leading to racial inequality within the British system. The individual discriminatory notions and fashions are still apparent in contemporary society as they work to restrict discriminated groups, to finger, and to assert all forms of inequality. Much as some suggestions are discernible nowadays for the advancing of tolerance and diversity within racial lines, such attitudes have been affected by the persistence of negative and other discriminatory indifferences (Kelley, Khan, & Sharrock, 2017). The institutional and societal racism is also revealed in more institutionalized and forms. Numerous societal institutions participate in shaping how we come across various variations within the minority groups' strata (Shankley & Rhodes, 2020, p210). Such indifferences extend to questioning racial mismatch, which leads us into a deep understanding of racism.
Besides the existing legislations towards tackling such issues, a lack of commitment and coordination within institutions are observed as people engage with other minority groups. Studies have portrayed bias towards the addressing of racial and ethnic indifferences within various institutions. Cultural racism is also eminent in present-day utterances over racism, particularly targeting religion, especially Muslims. Prejudices have been meted upon groups in the form of anti- Asian and anti-Arab predilections, including viewpoints like anti-Muslim. People from Arab and some Asian origins are regarded with an eye of violence (Karl...
