Racism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Racism infers an assumption of racial superiority and a harmful intent, whereas separatists sometimes prefer the term racialism, indicating a strong interest in matters of race without a necessary inference of superiority or a desire to be harmful to others. In some countries, accusations of racism are alleged to be used by supporters of cultural relativism and political correctness to stigmatise their adversaries due to the association between racism and extreme violence in parts of the twentieth century. Racism in one form or another was widespread in Britain before the twentieth century, and during the 1900s particularly towards Jewish groups and immigrants from Eastern Europe. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Racism   (8585 words)

Anti-racism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia By its nature, anti-racism tends to promote the view that racism in a particular society is both pernicious and socially pervasive, and that particular changes in political, economic, and/or social life are required to eliminate it. On the contrary, they often charge the left with reverse racism, and insist that the right is the true inheritor of anti-racism's egalitarian tradition. Anti-racism won its most notable and lasting victories in America during the Civil Rights Movement. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Anti-racist   (1308 words)

Rethinking anti-racism The recent transformation of anti-racism into anti-nationalism, or even "anti-nationism" and anti-populism, has encouraged the trend, throughout the 1990s, to resort exclusively to legal sanctions. Racism may be recognized in its direct or indirect effects and consequences: discrimination, separation or segregation, subordination, elimination. Reducing racism to crime in this way reinforces the tendency to explain the behaviour or attitudes of others, when they are seen as reprehensible, as motivated by "natural" predispositions, instead of being assumed to be explicable by situational factors (early instilling of prejudices, inadequate education, competition for jobs, etc.). www.france.diplomatie.fr /label_france/ENGLISH/DOSSIER/2000/17racisme.html   (1271 words)

Anti-Racism: My home page Racism in football extends to the society as a whole, since the rascists are unlikely to only exhibit such behaviour in the football stadium alone. The problem of racism in the United Kingdom is closely assosciated with xenophobia, and it is the assosciation with racial groups in the same category as foreigners, assylum seekers etc, which i believe has led to a rise in racist attacks. This article does not aim to state that the english football is racist, but rather states that racism in football is only reflective of society, and therefore for the problem to solved, it has to be stopped in society first. www.20six.co.uk /davidforjoe   (1693 words)

UN World Conference Against Racism And to equate Zionism with the intolerable sin of racism is to twist history and forget the terrible plight of Jews in World War II and indeed throughout history.

Resources for Anti-Racism Education Other Points: This handbook uses the term "racism" in a way that's different from how it's often now used in the U.S. by others doing anti-racism work.

Is Anti-Racism Working? AFA rightly presents the genuine extent of racism and race attacks, and the potential of the Far Right to capitalise on this situation.
