Definition
QUOTE
(with in-text citation)
“Racism is based on the belief that distinct races exist and that significant differences (such as moral, intellectual, or cultural differences) among races
can be distinguished. What pushes this view about race into racism is the additional belief that some races are inferior in these significant respects or
otherwise deserving of dislike or hostility” (Vaughn, 2022, p.439).

IMPORTANCE
Why do you believe that this topic is an
important
ethical issue/concern?
This topic is an important ethical issue because, of the futile mental stress and harassment that it causes people on a daily basis. People of different
races and ethical backgrounds go through harassment and sometimes even physical harm because of the color of their skin or culture. It is very cruel
and immoral to believe that there is only one superior race. And it is wrong to treat people wrong or cause them harm just because they are a different
skin color or because they are different in a way.
