Racism in social media – the digital racism
In modern times, racism is common in social networks.
Around 40% experience youth people or young adults with a migration background digital racial discrimination on the internet.
Racist statements such as n**ga or racist threats to people of immigrant background distribute in seconds on the social networks. Common factors such as easy accessibility, group dynamics, and anonymity in the platforms are related to the rapid spread of the racist hate comments or hate messages or types such as memes or photo sharing.
Racism in focus
Racism has been entrenched in everyday life for generations and it is a huge problem in our demographic, changing society.
Every minute a person with a migrant background is racially insulted or violently attacked.
Since the pandemic racist violence has increased by more than 50%.
Among the racist victims of violence are mostly persons of Asian or African-American background.
Most people are aware of the racist problem. Many people do not perceive through their own responsibility, their awareness and their misinformation of the racist problem in everyday life.
