Racism

A racist incident is any incident which is perceived to be racist by the victim or by any other person.

Racist attacks are not only against the law, they also create tension, divide people and communities. They can destroy people's lives through no fault of their own. Everyone has the right to go about his or her life without fear or intimidation.
