An old social issue

A stereotype of blacks
Racism is a very very old form of discrimination in the humankind almost as old as sexism (see my entry about sexism). Firstly, racism is a socially constructed prejudice, because people have made generalizations about minorities for a long time such as "blacks are delinquents", "Asian people are mafia", "Latin Americans are drug traffickers", etc. In addition, racism is a form of fear, fear of facing the "different", wich ultimately causes hatred (man naturally hates what he fears), and this can be explained by many historical facts such as Nazism, where Adolf transmitted his hatred with the masses to different groups what was racially motivated. Finally, in relation to the former, racism is already so common that stereotypes are already seen as normalized, this can even be seen on television and in the movies: black or asian is usually the first to die in horror movies, in the television series or the novels the brunette woman is automatically of low social class, or a servant (where the viewer gives a sense of inferiority, very basic), among other facts.
In conclusion, we can extract these thoughts of people through tolerance, thinking that we are all human beings, that we have differences and these have to be respected, to finally eradicate racism.
