Racisim and Racial Prejudice

Racial discrimination is a kind of prejudice based on false reasoning and inflexible generalization of a particular group. The term prejudice comes from the bias of Latin nouns and means judgment based on decisions formerly formed before facts are known. If a person allows beliefs in their prejudices to prevent progress of others, it is discrimination. People who exclude others from certain types of employment, housing, political rights, educational opportunities or social exchanges commit racial discrimination.

Two-element theory of racial bias Currently, most racial prejudice theory should be characterized as a "two-factor" theory. Based on these (1) racial prejudice and (2) motivation to suppress prejudice, these theories assume that people try to simultaneously satisfy two competing motivations. Such conflict can lead to ambiguity, behavioral instability and cognitive discrepancies. The first factor is true prejudice. In two-element theory, true prejudice is basic, primitive, potential, powerful, early learning, automatic, cognitively simple, and relatively simple. It is negative and motivating; it does not need to be based on a reasonable evaluation of the target. Most two-element theories believe that most Caucasians have true (primary and unfounded) biases against blacks.

JSM pointed out that social, cultural, cognitive and developmental factors produce various types of prejudices such as race, ethnicity, religion, sex, patriotism. These powers create 'real' prejudice. This true prejudice is a true negative reaction that is usually not directly available, but it is a major and powerful thing. True prejudice is a dynamic emotional response. Other forces, such as social norms, personal criteria, beliefs, values, are suppressing this prejudice. In general, the restraint process will reduce the occurrence of both public and private prejudice. The prejudice that is usually suppressed may still be expressed and the justification process helps to express real prejudice. Faith, ideology, and attribution relieve prejudice, leading to public acceptance and public acceptance of prejudice.

Race bias and discriminatory behavior are more common when biased measurements are not obvious and bias is measured openly and passively (Crosby, Bromley, & Saxe, 1980). If social norms are ambiguous and sanctions are not publicly disclosed, discrimination will become more common (Gaertner, 1973; Gaertner & Dovidio, 1986). Prejudice is assessed by specialist scientists or rustic observers, external observers or introspective assessment of bias is most often the result of "opposite" bias and repressive force.
