Read a random definition: nisi aliud convenerit

A quick definition of racial discrimination:

Racial discrimination is when someone is treated unfairly because of their race. This means that they are not given the same opportunities or privileges as others because of their skin color or ethnicity. It is against the law to discriminate against someone based on their race, and there are rules in place to protect people from this kind of unfair treatment. Discrimination can also happen based on other things like age, gender, religion, or disability, and it is important to treat everyone with respect and fairness.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Racial discrimination is when someone is treated unfairly because of their race. This can happen in many areas of life, such as employment, housing, education, and access to public facilities. It is against the law to discriminate based on race, and there are federal and state laws that protect people from this type of discrimination.

Examples:

An employer refuses to hire someone because of their race.
A landlord refuses to rent an apartment to someone because of their race.
A school denies admission to a student because of their race.
A store owner refuses to serve someone because of their race.

These examples illustrate how racial discrimination can happen in different areas of life and can have a negative impact on people's opportunities and experiences.
