How do the definitions of ethnocentrism, racism, and stereotyping compare?
Ethnocentrism is the belief that one’s own culture is superior to all others. Oppression follows when one group imposes cultural biases on another. Racism is discrimination directed toward those who are misperceived to be inferior due to biological differences. Stereotyping is the expectation that all members of a racial, ethnic, or cultural group act alike and share similar beliefs and attitudes.
