Answer 1

Racial inequality is when people who belong to one particular race, such as Caucasian, believe that they are superior to people of any other race.  This allows them to enslave or destroy other races. In the USA, for example, people who had been kidnapped from their homes (mainly in Africa) were brought to the USA and sold as slaves. This was after the Europeans had killed or imprisoned in 'Reservations' almost all of the people who were native to North America. Even after slavery was outlawed, European people taught their children that non-whites were inferior and not entitled to be treated or even thought of as equals.

In fact, until 1967 it was AGAINST THE LAW for a 'white' person to marry a non-white person in the USA.
