Racism implied
the poor treatment or violence against people because of their race is the
major determinant of human traits and the racial differences produce an
inherent superiority of a particular race.
Unfair racial stereotypes have taken root in the hearts of
people, hence, it cause us to react to people differently. However, it also
influence the ways that we used to describe the destruction of property and
violence among the black and white people. Therefore, lacking of self-love,
feeling of unworthiness also causes the racism occurred in the society
nowadays. The racist people are the person who lack of confidence and
self-esteem as well as discharge the negative feelings onto others which resemble
frail and vulnerable. Unfortunately, the weaker will be treated as scapegoat since
the feeling of being worthless comes from racism (Lim Miun Chen).
Upbringing will cause a
person to become racist since they are young. It is because we always take on
views of the people around us. When our family members and friends react
harshly or treat people differently just because they are from different races.
We will be affected by them and we might just think that it is very common. Racism
seems to be right because the people around us are doing the same thing even
though it is morally wrong. We should treat all the peoples equally and if you
are born in racist family, you must correct them when you know that racism can
actually affect someone’s whole life (Oh Yi Zhi).
Personal experiences also the issue of racism. If there
is someone who is from a certain race has assaulted a people, then the people
are more likely to have fear towards the people of the race. This is normal and
natural for people to react like this way. This situation is same like when a
people had been betrays by colleague or friend, the people are likely to have
an opinion on that person’s race or culture. Therefore it is to hard not to be
racist. A person who has an experience like this they will be racist faster
than others (Khor Qiao Rou).
This happens because our society
and its fore bearers have successfully managed to plant the seeds of
discrimination into our consciousness long before we were able to declare our
choices. In fact some of the most outrageous incidents of killing took place as
a severe result to racism. Main reasons racism is lack of self-love, feeling of
unworthiness and desire to feel superior. People who are the most racist tend
to be people who lack confidence, self-esteem and most of all self-love.
A racist person throws all their negative feelings onto others that are seen as
weak and vulnerable (Shaarmeni).Indeed, racism should be ceased as all race have equal chances and no race is dominant than others race.
