For example, in the Myanmar Rohingya Crisis, about 600,000 Rohingya Muslims had fled to Bangladesh after ethnic violence erupted in Myanmar’s northern Rakhine State in late August.

    of race does not use physical features or a person's heritage to determine their race, but rather their actions. If a person acts, dresses, speaks as if they are part of a certain race, who is to say they are not part of that race? Differences in racial and ethnic identities can cause problems between people.

    area in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, I thought that racial discrimination was a thing of the past. Yes, I knew my ex-Mennonite grandmother didn’t want me to marry an African American, but I laughed that off, because other than that, racism, discrimination, and prejudice were not things I saw in everyday life.

    Prior to the 1960's, discrimination was viewed as a "creature of prejudice" (Feagin & Feagin, 1988). What this means is that the problem of discrimination was viewed as one motivated primarily by individuals (or groups of individuals) on the basis of prejudice or hatred. Implicit in this 'prejudice-causes-discrimination-model' (Feagin & Feagin, p. XX) was the assumption that the solution to discrimination was one of simply eliminating prejudice.
