"Racism can be present in social actions, practices, or political systems (e.g. apartheid) that support the expression of prejudice or aversion in discriminatory practices."
"The ideology underlying racist practices often assumes that humans can be subdivided into distinct groups that are different in their social behavior and innate capacities and that can be ranked as inferior or superior."
"Racist ideology can become manifest in many aspects of social life."
"While the concepts of race and ethnicity are considered to be separate in contemporary social science, the two terms have a long history of equivalence in popular usage and older social science literature."
"Racism and racial discrimination are often used to describe discrimination on an ethnic or cultural basis, independent of whether these differences are described as racial."
"According to the United Nations's Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, there is no distinction between the terms 'racial' and 'ethnic' discrimination."
"The convention further concludes that superiority based on racial differentiation is scientifically false, morally condemnable, socially unjust, and dangerous."
"Racism is frequently described as a relatively modern concept, arising in the European age of imperialism, the subsequent growth of capitalism, and especially the Atlantic slave trade, of which it was a major driving force."

"Racism has played a role in genocides such as the Holocaust, the Armenian genocide, the Rwandan genocide, and the Genocide of Serbs in the Independent State of Croatia, as well as colonial projects including the European colonization of the Americas, Africa, Asia, and the population transfer in the Soviet Union including deportations of indigenous minorities."
"Indigenous peoples have been—and are—often subject to racist attitudes." Please note that the remaining questions (13-20) would require the provision of additional text for me to generate the specific quotes to answer them accurately.
