Question

Try to remember the first time you learned about racism and/or sexism. Was it explained to you, or did you learn it by experience and observation?

Answer 1

• Racism wasnt really explained to me,but I did observe the conversations my closed one's had,which kind of created that prejudiced view about the specific group being talked about.The exposure from media and socializing with others,have developed racist views among all of us.
• And now because of this,somewhere it is being taught to us as well,in schools and universities.The prejudiced views regarding the black race,considered to be criminals and an inferior race is not just mentioned in media sources,but also somewhere in schools and colleges,while explaining the concept of race and colour.
• Social interactions,experiences,exposure to social media,news etc. have contributed to racism and other forms of discriminations as well.These agents have influenced our views a lot and also somewhere people are stuck with the centuries old discriminations as well.
• Personally I have no experiences,but observations and listening to people has made me understand the concept of racism,as well as developed some small prejudices as well.
