Racism is a set of beliefs based upon the superiority of one ethnic group over another. It is only an ideology. Racism is used to justify inequality. When someone has little power they have someone over them with more power. The people holding the power will often do and justify it so that they can keep their place of superiority. Race is a social construction and is not genetic, however racism is based on the notion that it is genetic. Again, it is not genetically possible for an entire ethnic group to be less superior than another.
