    Racism is the belief that certain races are superior or inferior to others. It can take the form of social practices, beliefs, or political systems that rank races as inherently superior or inferior based on perceived shared traits. Racism began as a feeling of superiority among higher classes that made lower classes feel degraded due to different practices and skills. Globalization has increased racism by using certain races as cheap labor and restricting immigration based on nationality. Racism exists around the world in various forms such as slavery of African Americans, discrimination against religious minorities in Pakistan, and colorism through skin whitening in Pakistani culture.

    RACISM

    Presentation By: Kazna Adil, Ayesha Zahid and Umama Munir


    INTRODUCTION
    • Racism is the belief that a particular race is superior or inferior to another, that a person’s
    social and moral traits are predetermined by his or her inborn biological characteristics.
    • It also mean prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against other people
    because they are of a different race or ethnicity. These views can take the form of social
    actions, practices or beliefs, or political systems in which different races are ranked as
    inherently superior or inferior to each other, based on presumed shared inheritable traits,
    abilities, or qualities.
    • there is no distinction between the terms "racial" and "ethnic" discrimination. The UN
    Convention also declared that there is no justification for racial discrimination, anywhere,
    in theory or in practice.
    • Recently George Floyd, the 46-year-old African-American man who died in custody after
    an officer from the Minneapolis Police Department knelt on his neck for eight minutes
    and 46 seconds.
    How it all began?
    • there is no specific moment where we can say that it began but it was always present
    no matter what year what time, the feeling of superiority among the high classes and
    making other low classes feeling inferior.
    • Its all made up, seeing people of different classes as degraded just because of their
    different practices and inherited skills.
    • Before the separation of India and Pakistan, what made it al happen, the base was
    two nation theory, that these two different set of religions and ethnic groups cannot
    live together in harmony because one don’t miss a chance to make another feel
    superior and feel that they have the right to kill.
    • Racism has became a global issue effecting Africans, even African American are
    threatened for their lives because of their color. Martin Luther king wanted to see a
    world where both white and black live peacefully.
    GLOBALIZATION AND RACISM
    • As globalization is increasing day by day, racism is going hand in hand with it. Racism
    has always been both an instrument of discrimination and a tool of exploitation. But
    it manifests itself as a cultural phenomenon, susceptible to cultural solutions, such as
    multicultural education and the promotion of ethnic identities.
    • Based on their color and race, Africans were once used as a slave and were sell for
    work purposes, in business world everything is materialize and human lives don’t
    matter what matter is profit and labor at cheap price per hour.
    • With expanding globalization, the demands for more skilled workers, especially in
    North America, Europe and elsewhere has led to increased efforts to attract foreign
    workers Additionally, those trying to escape authoritarian regimes etc are finding it
    harder and harder to get into these countries, due to tighter immigration policies.
    Hence it is harder to immigrate to the wealthier nations unless these citizens are part
    of the chosen few.
    Racism around the globe
    • African American, slavery.
    • Civil Rights Movement.
    • Hitler and Nazis.
    • Islamophobia.
    • Brahmins, a cast difference in Hindu culture.
    Racism in Pakistan
    • Pakistan is a multi-religious, multi-cultural, pluralistic society where people of
    different ethnic and religious backgrounds live together
    • It chooses to restrictively recognise “minorities” as only ‘3.72 per cent of the total
    population and consist of Christians, Hindus, Ahmadis, Parsis, Buddhists and
    Sikhs.
    Discrimination on the basis of religion
    • The Ahmedis: Half a million of population;1974 amendment; Atif Mian
    controversy

    • Forced conversions of Hindu girls: rural areas of Sindh; 1000 cases in last
    year

    • Prosecutions of Christians under Blasphemy laws: Asia Bibi case


    Discrimination on the basis of ethnicity

    • Non-recognition of some ethnic groups


    • The Sarikis
    • The Baloch problem
    • FATA and PATA
    Colorism- Pakistan’s obsession with fair
    skin
    • It is considered extremely normal to use skin whitening creams
    as they are very popular among the people of Pakistan,
    especially the women.
    • The media is a big influence on how they view themselves and
    have come about favoring lighter skin over darker.
