I think that the most pernicious of all racism, and it is also the hardest to eliminate. Millions of people died because of racism. For example, in the holocaust during WW2, millions of people have died in the hands of Nazi because of Hitler's racism towards those that are inferior. There are also other mass murders that happened because of racism, namely the Rwanda Genocide. Also, racism is never going to eliminated. Though it is a common consensus that we shouldn't be racist, to some degree everyone of us is racist towards a certain race. Racism will always be in us but all we can do is to not create conflicts because of it. We can do a lot of things to help eliminate these forms of structural violence. In terms of eliminating racism on the individual level, we can keep our racial comments moderate and within ourselves. On the domestic level, we can educate our younglings that racial difference doesn't make people different and that we should learn to tolerate each other. On the interstate level, countries should make any structural violence illegal. On the global level, countries should work together and educate the public about the negative effects of structural violence and act as role models to help eliminate them.
