Ethnic discrimination refers to the unequal treatment or negative attitudes towards individuals or groups based on their perceived ethnicity or cultural background. This can manifest in various forms such as hate crimes, racial profiling, unequal access to opportunities, and systemic barriers to advancement. Research in this area seeks to understand the causes and consequences of ethnic discrimination, as well as develop strategies to combat and prevent it. Studies may examine the impact of discrimination on individuals' mental and physical health, educational and economic outcomes, and social well-being. Additionally, researchers may explore interventions and policies to promote equity and inclusion in society.
