I never thought that racism and racial supremacy can be a deeply rooted social issue that persists in various forms worldwide. Its origins trace back to historical prejudice and stereotype ,perpetuating discrimination based on race. As I  add to this historical prejudices and stereotypes based on race have been pervasive throughout different periods and regions. It is known that scientific racism emerged in the 19th century , attempting to provide a pseudo-scientific basis for hierarchical racial classifications. I assume that is why the transatlantic slave trade institutionalized dehumanizing stereotypes and creating a lasting impact on racial perceptions.

Stereotypes that are based on race are oversimplified often in accurate generalizations about a particular racial or ethnic group. My assumptions about racism and stereotypes often stem from ingrained cultural beliefs ,limited exposure or lack of diverse experiences. I believe that individuals may unintentionally hold stereotypes due to social influences, media portrayals or the perpetuation of biases within their communities. In some regions, stereotypes may arise from historical power dynamics and colonial legacies. I have a belief that this can be prevented by having a educational awareness which can promote accurate inclusive education that addresses historical power imbalances and colonial histories.

It can also encourage critical thinking to help individual's question and challenge stereotypes. I think it can be impossible to conduct research to understand the impact of stereotypes and biases in different contexts. As it shows that racism is serious issue of othering , to overcome racism requires education and open dialogue that structures the perpetuate inequality.
