Report on Racism
I have chosen to research: To what extent did racism affect people during the time periods 1900-2000 in the world? I chose to focus on finding out three key questions 1) What is Racism? 2) How did racism affect People during 1900-2000 throughout the world? 3) What can we do about racism now, and how can we stop it from happening? I chose to research this topic after watching the movie crash because it showed me how racism was such a big thing in America, I found this an interesting concept in the movie and wanted to find out in more depth about racism throughout the world, and to what extent it has affected people.

Racism could also be defined as the hatred of one person by another - or the belief that another person is less than human - because of skin colour, language, customs, and place of birth or any factor that supposedly reveals the basic nature of that person. However http://itstopswithme.humanrights.gov.au/it-stops-with-me/what-you-say-matters/why-racism defines racism into more simple words as: Racism is ugly. It divides people into “Us” and “them” based on where they come from or the colour of their skin. And it happens when people think its okay to treat others badly as they go about with their daily lives. An example of the type of racism that happens around the world is ‘Lynching’ the website http://www.yale.edu/ynhti/curriculum/units/1979/2/79.02.04.x.html said that: In the last decades of the nineteenth century, the lynching of black people in the southern and border states became and institutionalized method used by white people to terrorize black people and maintain white supremacy. Most of the Lynching’s were by hanging or shooting, or even both. However, many were of a more hideous
