Of course, racism of all sorts is wrong. Which do you think is worse of the two types that may be commonly practiced in any given society. The racism of Skin Color, or racism of Social Class? I don’t think the racism only exists where people of different nationalities live together. I feel the sub-continent suffers from several kinds of 'isms, and of which are; one that might make people feel superior because of their skin color, and the other of their standing in social hierarchy. Which do you feel has caused the most harm out of the two?
Re: Which is worse: Racism of Skin color or Social Class?
all kinds of discrimination are unacceptable. just like there can;t be good, bad or worse Talibans, same way there can’t be any difference between different kinds of discrimination. i think it’s against our religion, against any societal norms and against our conscience.
Re: Which is worse: Racism of Skin color or Social Class?
I also find it hard to distinguish between the two. Both are unacceptable, but I feel (and I’m probably very wrong; please correct me if so) that Racism of Skin Color causes, and has caused more damage because the one subjected to the racism can never outgrow it. They are the way they were born. Economical Racism however, may be defeated because some bravehearts take the criticism they get from arrogrance of others and use it to motivate themselves to work harder and reach the same level of success, or even more. Critical point comes when they reach the same heights, and earn the same standing in Society. Do they then set about to make a positive change, or become a part of the same class and cycle continues for other little guys/gals that are up and coming stars?
Re: Which is worse: Racism of Skin color or Social Class?
If I have to chose between the two I would say racism of skin color is worse, because it’s (more) clearly visible, and one cannot change his skin color.
