Many of us don't know the difference between some common words such as bias, racism, homophobia, prejudice, and discrimination. Well here is what a few of these words mean.
Bias is a one-sided view stemming from one's background or previous knowledge. At times the person may not eve know that they are biased.
Prejudice, or pre-judging, is similar to bias. Meeting someone for the first time and pre-judging them because of what the word on the street was, is pre-judging based on your biased-ness...
Racism is when one race thinks they're better than the other. This can be cause by biased-ness and lead to prejudice and discrimination, which is the mistreatment caused by a prejudice or bias. Sometimes even cause by a stereotype, discrimination causes us to look at others differently.
A little bit of knowledge!
