Racism

I believe racism is when you treat someone differently or unfairly simply because they belong to a different race or culture.People can also experience prejudice because of their religion or nationality. From past experience in my personal life i can say that being a victim of racism is also a form of being bullied. It is emotional and you end up feeling isolated.
Racism takes many different forms. These can include:
Personal attacks of any kind, including violence
Written or verbal threats or insults Damage to property, including graffiti Racism can exist in all races and cultures. Racists feel threatened by anyone who is from a different race or culture. We are not born racist. Our views and beliefs develop as we grow up. If a child or young person grows up within a racist family, or has friends who are racist, they may believe that racism is normal and acceptable. Ian Wright states "Racism is hurtful and cruel and no one should put up with it."
