What is ideological racism? Please provide an example.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary but should discuss ideological racism as a belief system of a particular group or the societal equivalent of individual prejudice. Members of the dominant group use ideological racism to legitimize or rationalize the unequal status of minority groups. Through the process of socialization, such ideas pass from generation to generation, becoming incorporated in to the society's culture. An example of a racist ideology is the elaborate system of beliefs and ideas that attempted to justify slavery in the American South. This exploitation of slaves was explained in terms of the innate and racial inferiority of blacks and the superiority of Whites.
