The Museo Memoria y Tolerancia in Mexico shows that racism is connected to how people treat others based on their wealth or social status. It is also about acting like you are better than someone else.This can happen when people have more material possessions, go to certain places,use certain words, or mistreat others because of how they look or where they are from.
Individually, without forgetting you are part of a community, write in your notebook why we still see racist acts in society today.
Share and discuss what you wrote with the rest of your community.

- Individually, without forgetting you are part of a community, read the following text:
Racism is based on the imposition of ideas, prejudices,and stereotypes that favor the conservation of privileges by a dominant group, which despises others for their way of life, physical appearance, traditions, or skin color. Racist acts are based on ideas, prejudices, and stereotypes that are passed down from generation to generation.
Stereotypes are socially constructed ideas, often assumed to be valid. However, they are erroneous or simplified preconceptions about another human group based on their characteristics.Stereotypes are transmitted from generation to generation and can lead to practices of discrimination and intolerance.
Prejudice occurs when someone judges another person without knowing them. It is like deciding if you like a book just by looking at its cover. Prejudice can make people treat others unfairly because they believe untrue things about them.
