It never went away, but now we stand at the beginning of the third decade of the twenty-first century, racism is making an overt comeback, revitalized by the new genetics. Human genetics is the study of how we are different and how we are the same as each other: in individuals, in disease, in populations and in history. Most contemporary geneticists disagree with the idea that genetic variations between traditional racial groupings of people are meaningful in terms of behaviour or innate abilities.
Racism has many definitions; a simple version is that racism is a prejudice concerning ancestral descent that can result in discriminatory action. It is the coupling of a prejudice against biological traits that are inalterable with unfair behaviour predicated on those judgements, and can operate at a personal, institutional or structural level. By this definition, racism is something that has always existed, even though race as a concept has changed over time.
