is raycism right?

Answer 1

Assuming you mean "racism" (and not discriminated against guys named Ray) then no, it is not right. Categorizing things and people is natural for human, the world would be too overwhelming if we did not. Every time you see a tennis ball you can safely assume that it will bounce. But the problem comes when these assumptions lead to discrimination. There are general trends that differ among races (ie Asians score higher on IQ tests, Blacks are more religious), but we cannot allow this to guide us in our decisions. On average, older people are wiser than younger, but does this mean we should always vote for the older presidential candidate?

Answer 2

1. Usually.

2. The only time that I know that it was left, was when the French Communist Party (PCF) briefly flirted with anti-immigration politics.
"While the official line of the PCF and the PCF-controlled General Confederation of Workers (CGT) in the 1960s was against immigration controls, by the early 1980s they had reversed their position. In November of 1980, the PCF called for a complete stop to all immigration.20 Taking a lead from the heads of the party, one local PCF mayor decided to take matters into his own hands, personally overseeing the bulldozing of buildings where immigrant workers lived. Robert Hue, who became the head of the PCF in 1994, organized a demonstration outside the apartment of a Moroccan family accused of dealing drugs in 1981. The family had to barricade themselves in their home while demonstrators threatened them from the street.21 It was not until 1990 that the PCF finally introduced an antiracism bill in response to growing incidences of racist violence which had become increasingly embarrassing to the government."
