Racism, Prejudice And Racial Discrimination

Racism, classism, and prejudice have existed for several years now, they exist in almost every civilisation and society it’s not peculiar if you are classified into categories which explains who you are or who you are supposed to be based on society. The world has progressed significantly on every aspect like technology and socially, but racism and prejudice still exist till today embedded in the minds of narrow minded people and their traditions and values. Racism is not a case of hatred within people towards a certain culture or religion it is their point of view which projects that just because someone is not like them they are not good enough.
