Racism and Intolerance Introductory Terms
A. Prejudice: Negative attitude towards an individual based on what group they belong to.Example: “Eugene is a bad driver because he
is Asian.”
B. Stereotype: Widely held assumptions about individuals that belong to a group.“Example: “Black people are fast”
![Page 4: Notes aplenty civil rights](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c3724fbb61eba8498b477f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
C. White Supremacy: Pseudo-scientific belief that white Europeans are biologically superior to other racesExample: (Theodore Roosevelt): “It was out of the
question to expect Texans to submit to the mastery of the weaker race.”
Example (Theodore Roosevelt): I wish very much that the wrong people could be prevented entirely from breeding;..The emphasis should be laid on getting desirable people to breed…
D. Discrimination: Treating people unequally on the basis of what group they belong toExample: Lisa wasn’t allowed to join the military
because she was openly homosexual.

E. Institutional Racism: When institutions (government, schools, businesses, colleges, etc.) promote racial inequality through their policies. Racism by habit, not always intent.Example: People of color on average attend
schools of poorer quality than whitesExample: Adam was hired instead of Tyrone
because he “presented himself” better or was” someone we felt would work well with us” (meaning similar cultural and racial experience)
Example: Preferential admission to children of alumni.

Art (Aaron Douglas)"...Our problem is to conceive, develop,
establish an art era. Not white art painting black...let's bare our arms and plunge them deep through laughter, through pain, through sorrow, through hope, through disappointment, into the very depths of the souls of our people and drag forth material crude, rough, neglected. Then let's sing it, dance it, write it, paint it. Let's do the impossible. Let's create something transcendentally material, mystically objective. Earthy. Spiritually earthy. Dynamic."

Magazines (like Good Housekeeping)

Asserted that there was nothing about women that made them enjoy housework or being subservient to their husbands.
In other words: cooking, cleaning, raising children isn’t all that fulfilling.
