What is racism?
The Encyclopedia of Race and Racism defines racism as ''a system of advantage and disadvantage based on social, historical, and cultural constructions of race and ethnicity." This is different from prejudice (biased feeling or emotions based on race) or discrimination (differential negative treatment based on race) (Salter and Adams, Racism: Overview).
