MORE EXAMPLE SENTENCES

1.1Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior:a programme to combat racism________________________________________________People who see everything in terms of race are racists, by definition. People who think their race is God's Chosen People which enjoys divine privileges are crackers, by definition. They need to read the Bible which they use as a land deed to Palestine. They would discover that God was always punishing his chosen people when they acquired the idea that they are superior to other men and to God himself. They should read Israel Shahak and Shlomo Sand. Such claims surpass the hubris of the devine right of kings and the Brahmin caste that is found in many societies not only in India. Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated by an Israeli shortly after he uttered the words, "The Bible is not a land deed."
