Not quite like!

Racism includes the belief that genetic or inherited differences produce the inherent superiority or inferiority of one race over another.
One of the unexplored dimensions of racism is to question the very essence of being a racist. Does a community carry it as a privileged legacy? Or does it really seek a cause-a cause to be omnipotent- a cause to be seen as a ruler……is it all about the power game? I see the answer emerging to be yes.
Yes it is. Arguably, one of the significant underlying causes of selling one’s community as superior to the other conforms to the fact that we are constantly threatened by the thought of becoming inferior………hence emerges a quest for power.
