Racism generally refers to any belief, attitude, behaviour or practice that reflects an assumed superiority of one cultural group over another. Racism is expressed through prejudice or discrimination and may take various forms. Racism, which can be overt or covert, can be directed against individuals or groups. It can also be institutionalised into policies, practices and structures. The effects of racism are well documented and can dehumanise people, erode individual rights, debilitate morale and interfere with the effectiveness of work and learning environments.
