Document Summary
Canada in the twenty first century must confront an inescapable paradox. On the one hand, canadians, at the cognitive level, have rejected notions of biological inferiority, while internalizing a commitment to tolerance, justice, and equality. Internment camps nurses anti-semitic incidents 1/6 victims of racism etc. Biology (dislike of others because of who they are) Ideology (dislike of others because of a particular world view -> to justify superiority) Culture (dislike of others for what they do -> racism without race) Structure (denial of others that is institutional and institutionalized) Power (dislike of others because of their status as threats to privilege/wealth domination and control over others) > although many factors surround the idea of racism it is ultimately about power. Prejudice biased and generalized prejudgements about outgroups derived from inaccurate and incomplete information usually irrational assumptions that influences the equal treatment of minorities.
