Racism is the idea that humankind is made up of several races. Some are supposedly superior and others inferior.

If people are racist, it’s because they believe they are superior and because they look down on people with different origins, skin color or another culture.

Certain peoples used these ideas to dominate others.

Going back in history, that led to slavery, colonization and the massacre of populations.

But today, science has shown that races don’t exist within the human species. We all have the same genes!

So, why are there still racists?

It’s mainly because of ignorance and the fear of others.

Racists wrongly believe that preconceived ideas about certain groups are true, no matter what science says.
