Hi there!!

I'm going to be using description.

The term "racist" is frequently misunderstood. "Prejudice, prejudice, or animosity aimed towards someone of a different race based on the conviction that one's own race is superior," according to the Oxford Dictionary. This is, nevertheless, a simplistic description of a difficult problem. The term "racial group" is derived from anthropological beliefs that have already been debunked. Because incorrect concepts of racial difference have become established in society's beliefs and behaviors, the present use of the terms 'race' and 'racial' has emerged. These ideas have an impact on many aspects of life in Scotland, from social attitudes to the way businesses are operated. The legal concept of race discrimination encompasses more than just 'race' in the way that it is used here. The Equality Act of 2010 protects people of all races, nationalities, and ethnic or national origins against racial discrimination. This includes white majority ethnic Scots, however they are unlikely to require it because they are not frequently discriminated against. Race is defined similarly under hate crime law.

Hope this helps :))
