Racism is the belief that one race or culture is superior and using that belief to:

• A. Discriminate against others
• B. Promote universal equality
• C. Encourage bilingual education
• D. Celebrate diversity

Answer: (A)

Racism involves the belief that one race or culture is superior and using that belief to treat people unfairly. When that superiority mindset is put into action, it leads to discrimination—acting to disadvantage others based on race, such as denying opportunities, rights, or quality of care. That’s why the option describing discriminating against others is the best answer: it directly reflects how racist beliefs translate into harmful, unequal treatment. The other options describe goals or actions that promote fairness, inclusion, or education, which don’t align with using a racist belief to harm people.
