Rassismus (Racism)

Definition

Racism refers to the belief that some races are inherently superior or inferior to others, leading to discrimination and prejudice based on race.

Analogy

Imagine a group project where everyone is assigned different tasks. However, one person is constantly excluded from discussions and their ideas are ignored simply because they have a different skin color. That's how racism works - it unfairly treats people differently based on their race.
