Document Summary
>racial prejudice is not as harmful, as it lacks the context. >prejudice and racism are separated according to cole. All muslims are terrorists (muslims are not a race) A doctrine that one race is superior (garcia 1996, 5) A society is racist if and only if some races have unjustly gained economic and political power within it . >racism against race r is a negative attitude towards people of race r (on account of their belonging to race r) Examples of negative attitudes: disliking, resenting, hating, etc. What about the belief that one race is superior to another? (not belief- or structure-based!) Ex. a non-racist, that believes that that their are distinct average. We should judge individuals on the average traits of their races/group they belong to. It fits common sense and ordinary usage (garcia 1996, 8) Explains the similarity between racism and other forms of intergroup animosity like homophobia, sexism, xenophobia, etc. (garcia 1996, 8)
