Answer to Question #225302 in Sociology for Sim

Question

What is the impact of social media on racism?

Answer 1

Social media platforms have increased the rate at which racist attacks are advanced on personalities from different races. For example, in the past social media users have openly attacked personalities who do no belong to their race. Social media has intensified negative stereotyping on the basis of one's race. For instance, in soccer some black soccer players have been attacked by football fans who paint negative image of the personalities. People have attacked one another over social media platforms on the basis of their colour and the race. For instance on the basis of black race and white race.
