Racism and sexism are forms of discrimination which are very similar. The only real difference is that sexism is based on gender while racism is based on color. “TGG” will enlighten you to the fact that the similarities far outweigh the differences. It has been said that when you scratch the skin of a racist, you will find a sexist just below the surface. In general, people are socialized that it’s acceptable to be a little sexist, but it’s not to be a little racist.
We must all understand that these are both unacceptable forms of behavior and should be treated with equal importance. This workshop will discuss these two forms of discrimination and see if we reach any conclusions which would make us agree or disagree with this statement. We will also define the behaviors, the development, effects and strategies to combat racism, sexism and prejudice and how they embellish discrimination and power.
