What is Race?

Race is a visible aspect of


diversity and the first one
upon which people can
discriminate easily.
Racism discrimination is common and may be sometimes
voiced as “crime of ordinary racism” if this is directly
translated from the French Term “crime de recisme
ordinaire”.
Such a thing in common everywhere with terms used as
“black” and related number of similar terminologies used
sometimes openly or discretely.
The fundamental question is
that black people are the
firstto suffer from
discrimination because of
their psychological
differences.
Racism is common when
such people work in foreign
lands and companies.
Several cultures do clear
suffer from racism.
Employing people of different race shows that the
company is an equal opportunities employer and this adds
to its credibility.

Racial prejudices are strong however. They mighty crop


up when minorities do not feel “included” within the firm.
The issue can be exacerbated when people are hired or
recruited singly on the basis of race.
Having different races together ensures that companies
favour the integration of all the people of the community
while they respect their differences.
All over the world, companies are cautious of being
treated as ‘racist” with the regards to their recruitment
practice. By allowing other people of different races to
get abroad, they overcome the problem of racial
prejudices.
