Environmental Racism (7682 words) |
 | Environmental racism also appears to have infiuenced the EIS conclusions and methods because investigators did not properly implement their own criteria and procedures in the site-selection process. |
| Environmental racism also may play a role in the EIS's biased underestimation of accident risks associated with the proposed facility. |
| Environmental injustice occurs not only when policymakers explicitly violate minorities' rights to free informed consent or equal treatment but also when assessors employ biased, allegedly scientific methods whose consequences de facto result in discrimination against people of color or against socioeconomically disadvantaged groups. |
| Racism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (7818 words) |
| Racism is commonly defined as a belief or doctrine where inherent biological differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, with a corollary that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others. |
| Racism infers an assumption of racial superiority and a harmful intent, whereas separatists sometimes prefer the term racialism, indicating a strong interest in matters of race without a necessary inference of superiority or a desire to be harmful to others. |
| While 19th century racism is related to nationalism (some authors have opposed a "close nationalism", based on racism, etc., towards an "open nationalism", based on the universalist conception of the nation, etc.), medieval racism precisely divides the nation into various non-biological "races", which are the consequences of historical conquests and social conflicts. |
