Racism, Prejudice, and Discrimination Racism can be viewed as beliefs of the superiority of one race or ethical group. Racism between different groups has been used to exercise inequality as the perpetrators believe that the differences between the groups are genetic. Prejudice, as the name suggests, is a prejudgment where an individual or a group has a negative idea about another individual or a group based on generalization or stereotypes.

There are many reasons for this such as her unconditional love for me and my siblings, her endless sacrifices in the quest to make sure we are happy, her internal strength that makes everything better, and her profound wisdom rooted in her soul; these are a just a few attributes of this incredible woman.
