Racial issues

Japanese: 人種問題 - じんしゅもんだい
Racial issues
Racial issues are those that attach universal and definitive value to real or imaginary differences among a certain race (racial prejudice), which then causes various confusions and conflicts in politics, economics, culture, social life, etc. (racism). When considering racial issues, it is important to note that the meaning of race has been attached to the "myths" of race. From a scientific point of view, race is a biological term. In the narrow sense, race is the physical characteristics that distinguish one human group from another.

Japanese:
ある人種の現実の差異や架空の差異に対して,普遍的で決定的な価値づけを行い(人種的偏見),そこに政治,経済,文化,社会生活等にさまざまな混乱と紛争を巻き起こす(人種差別)ものを人種問題という。 人種問題を考える場合,人種の意味が人種の〈神話〉に付随してきたことに注目する必要がある。人種とは,科学的見地からすれば生物学的用語である。人種を狭義にみれば,ひとつの人間集団を他の人間集団から識別する身体上の特徴である。
