Some kids from the neighborhood are all set to play a pick-up game of basketball. The team captains are choosing their players

It’s just like any other Saturday afternoon, but this time you notice something: all the Black kids are being scooped up first, including the ones who aren’t especially athletic. And even though some of the kids like yourself are really fast and have all the moves, you keep being passed over. What’s going on here?

You’ve just experienced racism. Racism starts with the belief that people can be divided into groups called races. These groupings are based on physical traits, such as skin colour. Racism is the idea that some races are superior to others and should have more power than others. It is a form of prejudice – or pre-judging a person based on the group they belong to.

What is Racism? So thinking one person won’t be good at basketball because of their ethnicity is racist, right? Sure, but what about when we assume that same person will be good at math? Well those ideas are both stereotypes. A stereotype is when you have a set image of what a person from a certain group will be like. You see, stereotypes are usually negative, but not always. That’s why so many people don’t even recognize them. Have you ever seen racial stereotypes in action?

What about: Assuming a person is rich? Assuming someone can’t afford to pay? Making someone feel excluded? Always choosing kids from certain groups to be leaders? Assuming someone will have a special talent? Assuming someone is less intelligent or educated?

Spreading gossip about a certain group? Name – calling? Labeling someone as a drug-user or alcoholic? Being dismissive of someone’s celebrations? Blaming someone for other people’s problems? Making fun of someone’s appearance or clothing? Suspecting someone is going to break a rule or shoplift?

Stereotypes can lead to prejudice. These attitudes can lead to discrimination, or treating people differently because of the group they belong to. Racism is discrimination that is based on race. To put it a different way, racism occurs when someone has the power to act on his or her racist attitudes.
