SynopsisFor centuries, people have been judged and treated unfairly because of the color of their skin. Sometimes it can be easy to stereotype and label a person based on what he looks like. From the American slave trade to Nazi Germany, racist thoughts and intolerance of foreign cultures have resulted in violence and war. This book examines the cultural foundations for racism, defines race and ethnicity, and focuses on prejudice and stereotypes. By addressing the issue directly, this book provides thoughts on how to deal with racism in the United States and abroad.
