Racism is a product of the complex interaction in a given society of a race-based worldview with prejudice, stereotyping, and discrimination. Racism can be present in social actions, practices, or political systems (e.g., apartheid) that support the expression of prejudice or aversion in discriminatory practices. The ideology underlying racist practices often includes the idea that humans can be subdivided into distinct groups that are different in their social behavior and innate capacities and that can be ranked as inferior or superior. Racism doesn't merely affect the relationship between blacks and whites; it also affects other races such as Inuits and regular Danish people (Denmark; specifically Greenland); Malay, Indian, and Chinese (Malaysian people); American and Brits; Mexican and Indigenous Americans (United States of America).
