The issue of racial discrimination is one of the issues that have preoccupied and continues to occupy people today, despite the changing manifestations of discrimination affecting a number of people in different human societies, and the problem of racial discrimination remains a general human problem not limited to societies characterized by progress or delay, To look at it comprehensively trying to identify the sources and causes and to address the various manifestations, while trying to study the factors that help to invalidate them for the benefit of the human.
Definition of racial discrimination:
Returning to the sources and references that defined racism, we can say that racial discrimination includes:
Racism is an ideology or a view that makes its adherents feel superior to the human element to which they belong, and this behavior results in racist behavior.
Racism is also a view based on the belief that there is a difference between races, and that a certain gender is higher than other races, which justify his domination of others.
Racism is a conscious or unconscious reaction emanating from a racist view of the other.
The French philosopher Albert Mimi defines racism as "the total and partial appreciation of real or imagined differences in favor of the critic, against the interest of the victim, either to justify the exclusive interests of the critic or to justify the victim's assault."
The racist position has two interrelated things: first, the division of people into different categories, and the second is the consecration of hegemony over vulnerable and critical groups.
Racism is often an indicator of a state of fear and anxiety among individuals in society, which shortens their thinking and distracts them from the remote scrutiny of the causes of their problems.
It is important to point out, as we try to define racism, that racial discrimination has often evolved in racist attitudes from the inferiority of the other to the rejection of the other on the basis of cultural, linguistic, ethnic and religious differences.
Racist currents and parties often strive to justify their racist positions with political and social justifications, such as expressing their opposition to the presence of foreigners in the country, since the economic crisis requires giving priority to employment opportunities for the country's indigenous people.
From the above points, we can say that the racist behavior expressed by individuals or groups is not confined to one reason, nor is it one manifestation, but rather its multiple causes and manifestations. Each behavior is driven by the superiority of the one who consecrates the other consciously or unconsciously. Consciously, in order to defend certain interests or to hold the other responsible for the problems that have occurred, is a racist act that can not be accepted.
Hence, the condemnation of racial discrimination should address all its manifestations and manifestations, and all the different causes of it must be considered, so that the treatment of this phenomenon is a comprehensive remedy.
