10. What is anti racism
 Anti-racism includes beliefs, actions, movements, and policies adopted or developed to oppose racism. Anti-racism tends to
promote the view that racism in a particular society is both pernicious and socially pervasive, and that particular changes in
political, economic, and/or social life are required to eliminate it.
 Anti-racism encompasses a range of ideas and political actions which are meant to counter racial prejudice, systemic racism,
and the oppression of specific racial groups. Anti-racism is usually structured around conscious efforts and deliberate actions
which are intended to provide equal opportunities for all people on both an individual and a systemic level. As a philosophy, it
can be engaged in by the acknowledgment of personal privileges, confronting acts as well as systems of racial discrimination,
and/or working to change personal racial biases
