Racismo
A conception based on the superiority of certain races over others, leading to discriminatory actions.
Definition
Ley 7 of 2018 defines 'Racismo' as a conception that stems from the superiority of certain races or a race over others, based on a supposed biological purity. This definition encompasses actions that manifest such beliefs, such as requiring a job applicant to have a 'good appearance' for a specific position, which can lead to discrimination based on racial characteristics. The law aims to address both overt and subtle forms of racial discrimination that impact employment and social opportunities.
