Racism

Racism prevails in society when individuals believe one race is superior to another by virtue of economic advantages or specific achievements they have made. The subordinate group experiences a tremendous amount of prejudice in many cases simply due to a lower economic standing in society. The presumed superiority or inferiority of members of a society is often used to justify the imbalanced distribution of wealth, power and prestige throughout the world. In addition, groups at the top of the social hierarchy believe they can justify the unequal distribution of societal rewards as a result of the innate differences among these groups.
