Racism is commonly defined as a belief or doctrine where inherent biological differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, with a corollary that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule.

Usually, when one talks about racism, it refers to the general ethnic background of a person. A few example of this are: Hispanic, Black, Indian, Asian, White non-Hispanic. These are but a few examples of what is classified as race. Racism is the act of prejudice either for or against a chosen ethnic background. This act is frowned upon by most of society today.

Discrimination towards another person based on race or ethnic origin. It is not the same thing as prejudice, where prejudice is thought+stereotypes towards a particular ethnic/culture group, or any other person in the world.
