Why is there racial discrimination in America?

Racial discrimination (racial discrimination)

According to the characteristics of race and nationality, the bourgeoisie divides people's social status and legal status, and restricts and infringes on the basic rights and freedoms of other races. In class society, racial discrimination is essentially a class problem.

Racial discrimination has existed since ancient times, but its modern form began with the primitive accumulation of capital and still exists in some parts of the world. This phenomenon is caused by the reactionary ruling class advocating and spreading the theory of racial superiority and racial hatred by means of legislation and administration. The manifestations of racial discrimination are openness, legality, concealment and practicality. In South Africa, racial discrimination is manifested in apartheid, which is the basic national policy of white racists and has a history of more than 300 years. In the past half century, the white racist authorities have promulgated more than 100 racial discrimination laws. Blacks and Indians in America, aborigines in Oceania, former colonial immigrants in Europe, ethnic minorities and foreign workers, "tribesmen" and caste groups in Asia are all victims of today's racial discrimination.

Racial discrimination is an insult to human dignity and has been repeatedly condemned by international public opinion and international organizations. 1963165438+1October 20th, the United Nations Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination announced for the first time that all racial discrimination in the world should be eliminated quickly. 1On March 7, 966, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, which stipulates that all racial discrimination is prohibited in all aspects of political, economic, social, cultural or public life (such as transportation, hotels, restaurants, cafes, theaters, parks, etc.). States parties are obliged to prevent, prohibit and eliminate all forms of racial discrimination, especially racial segregation and apartheid, and to ensure that everyone, regardless of race or nationality, has the right to equality before the law. Anyone who spreads ideas of racial superiority or hatred, incites racial discrimination, and incites and carries out violence against any race or nation is a crime and should be punished according to law. 1973165438+1On October 30th, the United Nations adopted the International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid, which clearly declared once again that any organization, institution or individual that practices apartheid is a crime and should bear international responsibility.
