In Brazil, racism exists without the clear definition of race. In other words, because there is racism without a clear concept of race, racial issues are complicated in Brazil. Racism is not just a social problem. It is, above all, a political problem that arises from economic separation, exclusion, and marginalization. From the enlargement process of European colonialism, racism has been the most profound and efficient way of governance of social, material, psychological and political domination of Brazil. From this perspective, this study seeks to research racism in Brazil as a race politics. In conclusion, racial discrimination and racial inequality exist in Brazil. Thus, to study the racial discrimination and racial inequalities in Brazil, Chapter 2 examines the origins of racial politics in Brazil. Chapter 3 explores the relations of Brazilian society and races. Chapter 4 examines Black's resistance to racism as a black movement in Brazil. The first half of Chapter 5 looks at 'racial inequality in Brazil' and the latter sees 'racism in Brazil'. Chapter 6, as a conclusion, discusses the challenges and limitations of racial politics in Brazil.

The purpose of this study is to examine the definition of racism, prejudice, discrimination, and neo-racism, and to find solutions to racial discrimination. Specifically, we looked for cases of banal racism that appeared in the global era and looked at the racism that is prevalent in everyday life. The American film 《Hidden Figures》 is based on a true story and depicts the racism experienced by black women, and this racism is prevalent around the world as it appears in everyday life. In particular, racial discrimination has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Racial discrimination continues even after the pandemic. Therefore, a solution to overcome everyday racism was suggested. The results of this study will serve as an opportunity to realize that habitual and unconscious racism can be physical and mental violence for people suffering from racial discrimination.

Advertising is regarded as one of media's most proficient instruments of reflecting changing society. It represents the channel through which globalization and consumption culture have spread into everyday life. This study explores the significance and representations of multi-culturalism in contemporary television commercials. For the purpose, the social and historical meanings of the term 'multi-culturalism', generated inside and outside Korea, are discussed. A series of text analysis are followed, focusing on the representation of non-Korean models in terms of ethnicity and race. The result shows that the advertising is the instrument utilized in creating the relationship between multi-culturalism and racialism, which is called 'strategic multi-culturalism'. This strategy commonly happens in today's commercial advertising such as information/telecommunication, real estate/branded apartment complex, and bank/finance market. Despite the increasing number of multi-cultural commercials in the past decade, multi-culturalism in Korean society has not yet fully articulated.

The purpose of this study is to examine racism in the movie ≪Green Book≫ and to find solutions to racism through discussion with students. Set in 1962 in the United States, this film depicts the process of forming a good bond with the black pianist Dr. Shirley and the driver Tony in a racist society. This study utilized the subject of race, one of the subjects covered in the humanities class in the global era of S University in the second semester of 2021. This is because, since the outbreak of racism, the problem of racism has continued to arise in the current COVID-19 pandemic situation. Therefore, the researcher looked at racism and intercultural education as a theoretical background, and looked at cases of racism in movies and cases of racism that have occurred today. The history of racism and discrimination dates back to medieval Europe and was caused by religious conflicts and was attributed to white supremacy. As a solution to this racial discrimination, international organizations suggested intercultural education. And the reason why film was used in this study is because it aims to provoke students' interest and motivation for learning by targeting first-year university students called the digital native generation who were born and grew up with the Internet. In this study, students' solutions to racism were presented using discussion, and then the researcher's solutions were presented.

This study examines the sociocultural background of negritude by delving into Caseríos, Reggaeton, and $Trigue{\tilde{n}}os$, which are interrelated with the racism deeply embedded in Puerto Rican society. These terms have also been discussed in relation to the ideological discourse of racial democracy, which has caused Puerto Rican people to be blind to silenced inequality and hegemonic racial policies. Caseríos, housing projects for the poor urban class, are targeted by the state - sponsored project 'Mano Dura'. Due to the policing, control and surveillance of this anticrime project, Caseríos became perceived even more as residential communities of violence, poverty, and insecurity generally connected to the stigmatization of blackness. Reggaeton emerged as a mega hit genre of transnational Puerto Rican music in the 2000s, which in turn, drew attention to both the afrodiaspora in New York and the urban musical power in the Island. This musical genre serves to highlight the meaningfulness of black heritage in the national cultural identity of Puerto Rico. $Trigue{\tilde{n}}idad$ has recently become a common racial cultural term that embraces a broader racial paradigm of mestizaje. This term can function as an alternative concept of blackness, but it has not yet been transformed into enough cultural politics to resist ongoing racial democracy. The three terms intrinsically address both the uprooted racism and potential methods of challenging it. This paper argues the necessity of stronger and more responsive cultural politics to defy the pervasiveness and invisibility of racial discrimination in Puerto Rico.

Der Antisemitismusstreit in der Philosophie Heideggers kann als ein Streit um seine politische Theologie bezeichnet werden. Fast alle Epigonen Heideggers haben seine Teilnahme an Nazi-Bewegung anerkannt, aber seine antisemitische Haltung verneint. Farias und Faye haben dagegen so behauptet, $da{\ss}$ seine antisemitische Haltung bzw. rassistische Tendenz in seiner ganzen Vorlesungen und Werken gefunden werden $k{\ddot{o}}nnen$. Insbesonders nationalsozialistische bzw. antisemitische Tendenz Heideggers kann als die Stoffe der politischen Theologie im Horizont der seinen eigentlichen $Faktizit{\ddot{a}}t$ gekennzeichnet werden. Die gesamten Vorlesungen und Schriften Heideggers sind seine eigene Gedanken, welche durch keinen ${\ddot{a}}u{\ss}eren$ Zwang $durchgef{\ddot{u}}hrt$ werden. Heideggers Antisemitismus ist ja in diesem Sinne eine $tats{\ddot{a}}chliche$ $Faktizit{\ddot{a}}t$. Aber das ist kein ideologischen Wahnsystem der Nationalsozialisten, sondern eine Art des kulturellen Antisemitismus. Heidegger glaubte damit, die Erde und den Blut deutschen Volkes in der reinsten Weise aufzubewahren durch die Auferstehung des geistigen, geschichtlichen deutschen Daseins. Der rassistische, antisemitische Verdacht zur Heideggerschen Philosophie soll nur in diesem Denkshorizont kritisch interpretiert werden. Damit kann und soll Heideggers rassistische, antisemitische Haltung mit der Nationalsozialisten, welche die Vernichtung der Juden historisch und philosophisch zu legitimieren versucht, unterschiden werden.

The aim of this study was to seek for the purpose of social justice of mathematics education based on the understating of a critical race perspectives. This paper is consisted of two parts. First, I analyzed literatures of mathematics education for social justice in order to understand the discussions and concerns related to the topic. Second, I used the selected tenets of critical race theory to examine mathematics education for social justice scholarship. From the analysis, I concluded the current capacity of mathematics education for social justice toward addressing race issues in a mathematics classroom.

This study examined the perceptions of and attitude towards mixed-race and investigated the factors affecting them and their influence on discriminative behavior. For the study, a survey was conducted with residents residing in Seoul and its suburb. The results showed that the perceptions of and attitudes towards mixed-race, generally, were not so negative and positive in all three types of mixed-race, Caucasian-korean, Asian-korean, and African-korean. In addition, the perceptions of and attitudes toward mixed-race were partly different by the type of mixed race. That is, there were more positive perceptions of and more favorable attitudes towards the Caucasian-korean in Asian-korean and African-korean, and there were less positive perceptions of and less favorable attitudes towards Asian-korean than in African-korean. With regard to the factors affecting the perceptions and attitudes, racism was a factor affecting commonly the perception of and attitudes towards all types of mixed-race. The attitudes towards mixed-race had an influence on the discriminative behavior in all types of mixed-race, and, only in the African-korean, the perception of mixed race affected the discriminative behavior. These results suggest insights for what efforts should be made to improve mixed-race's welfare.

Facial processing of different racial origin has been investigated at various levels including perceptual, emotional, and socio-cultural processing. Particularly, a good deal of studies have been conducted to show "other race effect (ORE)" to indicate that subtle facial information such as identity or emotional expressions are often under-processed in racial out-group members. However, few studies have investigated whether attentional modulation toward racial out-group faces could explain ORE. We investigated whether novelty-driven attentional mechanism is involved in face perception using event-related potential (ERP). Twenty-two Korean (KR) and nine Caucasian-American (AM) participants were presented with emotional faces from the two racial origins while they performed a gender categorization task. KRs showed significantly greater P3 amplitudes to AM than to KR faces indicating that the early attentional processing underlies differential perception of racial out-group faces. Interestingly, P3 was not up-regulated in the AM subjects when they were presented with KR faces, perhaps due to massive habituation to KR faces during everyday social interaction. These results indicate that racial out-group faces are highly salient stimuli which automatically occupy attentional resources, but easily habituated with repeated exposure to the racial-out group.

It has been widely believed that the ethnic relations in Honolulu and Hawai'i in the early twentieth century were little associated with racist ideology because the white race was minority in terms of the racial composition. In reality, however, the racial and ethnic issues have played a major role in forming the past and present relations among ethnic groups. This study shows that the white-supremacy ideology exerted a strong influence on minority groups in Honolulu throughout the immigration and settling-down process, as much as in the mainland U.S. Clear occupational stratification and residential segregation among the ethnic groups in Honolulu represented almost the same situation as in mainland cities. The social segregation and spatial propinquity of their residential neighborhoods facilitated the construction of dichotomized identity: "Local" versus "Haole". Such transformed identities were a product of on-going inter-ethnic negotiation process embedded in the non-white multi-ethnic neighborhoods.
