Anti-racism refers to beliefs, actions, movements, and policies adopted or developed to oppose racism. In general, anti-racism is intended to promote an egalitarian society in which people do not face discrimination on the basis of their race, however defined. By its nature, anti-racism tends to promote the view that racism in a particular society is both pernicious and socially pervasive, and that particular changes in political, economic, and/or social life are required to eliminate it.
Precursors of anti-racism
In antiquity, many societies did not discriminate on the basis of race. Scholars believe that ancient Egypt, though hardly democratic, did not base social status on race. Similarly, Ancient Rome did not make strong social distinctions between blacks and whites.
Origins of modern anti-racism
North American Native American nations had more of a direct influence on anti-racism. Many of these nations were very egalitarian in comparison to European nation-states. Moreover, though Native Americans often saw their culture as superior, they did not tend to make racial distinctions in the same way as Europeans did. Both whites and blacks could -- and did -- join these nations as equals. More on [ Anti-racism ]
