This document summarizes racism in various fields as discussed in Frantz Fanon's work "Black Skin, White Masks" and other literary works. It discusses how racism is portrayed in works like Othello and The Hairy Ape, and how society historically viewed black people as ugly, unintelligent, inferior, and associated black skin with bad luck. It also discusses how colonialism and advertisements promoted white beauty standards and created an inferiority complex among black people. However, it notes that views are changing as black people gain more prominent roles and power in society.
