Racism: The belief that a certain ‘race’ is superior to another or all other races and thus has inherent right to dominate the members of other races. Biologically there are no discreet and scientifically measurable races among human beings. Race is a social construct and its purpose is to set social boundaries that can be used for dominance by power.
