What is Racism?
In rough words, racism can be conceptualized as: the act of putting one person at a disadvantage, overwhelmed, because of their skin color or ethnicity, to the detriment of others who, because of its racial situation, calls himself the "master race".
Although some use the binomial: racism and prejudice interchangeably, scholars, however, often make the difference between them. Is that racism will always be accompanied by high dose of bias, but bias does not always mean racism. Manifestations prejudiced may involve much more than race.
From a historical approach this issue definitely not restricted to the area of sociology, but extends to almost all fields of human studies. Ranging from religion to psychoanalysis. This is the racial prejudice that is certainly one of the great pivots that gives color to the violence in everyday life.
The issue is a burning issue of our time, is on the agenda. Although, has been neglected for so long, it seems that now the international authorities have agreed to it. In 2001 he was held by the United Nations World Conference Against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance in Durban, South Africa One of the goals was to form a new world view to combating racism, prejudice and intolerance .
"Discrimination between human beings based on race, color or ethnic origin is an offense to human dignity and shall be condemned as a denial of the principles of the UN Charter, as a violation of human rights and fundamental freedoms proclaimed in the Universal Declaration of Humans, as an obstacle to friendly and peaceful relations between nations, and as a fact capable of disturbing peace and security among peoples.

However, I will see if we still have some available '
The Hostess went away and came back a few minutes later.
'Madam, as I said, there is no other available seats in Economy Class.
I spoke to the captain and he confirmed that there is also no place even in economy class.
We have only one place in first class'.
And before the woman made any comment, the Commissioner continues
'Look, is not unusual for our company to allow a passenger on the coach sit in first class.
However, considering the circumstances, the commander thinks it would be outrageous to compel a passenger to travel beside an unpleasant person '.
And turning to the dark lord, the Commissioner continued:
'So sir, if you want, please take your hand luggage for you to reserve a place in first class ...'
And all the nearby passengers, who stunned watching the scene, began to applaud, some standing.
