Why people deny that racism is a violation of human rights?

Untitled Slide

The article, `Stanford psyclogist identifies seven factors that contribute to American rasism’ by Sandra Feder, argues that there is seven factors that contributes the racism in America. This article is on Stanford News. It is a news website that people share their papers that what they investigate and what they figured out from it. In this article, Feder discusses what she found from her investigation of interviewing psychologist Steven O. Roberts and Michael Rizzo.

The first three factors are categories,factions, and segregations. “Simply put, the U.S. systemitically constructs racial categorues, places people inside of those categories and segregates people on the basis of those categories”(Feder). People tend to be positive toward those they consider to be like them and in their ingroups.
In “Adventure of Huckleberry Finn”, people was open-minded to Huckleberry but not for Jim.

The other four factors are hierachy, power, media and passivism. In short, they argue that the U.S. positions and empowers some over others, reinforces those differences through biased media, and then leaves those disparities and media in place. Roberts and Rizzo argue that the most insidious is passivism or passive racism, according to the scholars. This includes an apathy toward systems of racial advantage or denial that those systems even exist. In the novel, people knew Huckleberry Finn stole stuffs from people and he was not caught Jim was caught by people. People only tried to catch Jim.

Conclusion/Relation to theNovel:
The racism,which shows as slavery in “Adventure of Huckleberry Finn”, is still exist in our world. People are still confused why discriminating people by race is a violation of human rights. The human rights are rights that are believed to belong justifiably to every person. Therefore, racism is violating people’s human rights because racism is ignoring other people’s rights.
