Racism
Racism refers to the belief that some individuals or even religions have that there are different races in the world, and some are above others.
During the Spanish Inquisition, Jews, Arabs and Berbers, were targeted the most. Even if they converted to christianity, Spanish society during that time viewed these Conversos as a threat.
After the "Reconquista", many Mudéjars (Berbers permitted to remain in Spain for economic reasons), and the Jews, were expelled out of Spain, Spain was very racist at that times.
Do you think current laws that outlaw racist behaviour and attitudes work?
