Bulmer (2008) defines racism as any inaction, action, or attitude that subordinates an individual or a group of people in regard to their ethnicity and color. Another definition of racism is a systemic mistreatment of people that is mainly experienced by people of color. Miller & Garran (2017) defines racism as a form of biases that is usually defined by invalid preconceived beliefs about a certain race and the members of the group. In my definition of racism, it is the belief that one holds towards the members of a race and the qualities, abilities, and characteristics that they hold. Usually, this characteristics are used to distinguish this race as inferior or superior. I feel that these definitions of racism are clear.
In my society today, there are damaging characteristics that have contributed to the white supremacy culture. White supremacy can be described as the preferential power, privilege, and treatment for white people at the expense of Native Americans, Arabs, Asian, Latino, Blacks, and other racially oppressed people (Rothenberg & Mayhew, 2017). According to several readings, white supremacy is an institutionally and historical perpetuated system of oppression and exploitation that is experienced by people of color. This actions are perpetuated by the white people and mainly for the purpose of defending and maintaining a system of privileges, power, and wealth. A personal experience of white supremacy is evident in the majority of the mainstream media. Television stations and newspapers have widely focused on the white people compared to the representation of the people of color.
