Word origin

The term 'racialism' emerged in the late 19th century as a concept related to the belief in racial superiority. It was often used to justify colonialism, slavery, and discriminatory practices. Over time, the term fell out of favor due to its association with racism and discrimination. Today, 'racialism' is considered an outdated and problematic term, with 'racism' being more commonly used to describe prejudice and discrimination based on race.
