Racism as a language is as old as humanity itself. There is no society or social grouping that does not reflect or issue judgments upon the variations present between groups in terms of skin color, ethnicity, generation, gender, and origin. At the same time, on another level, while the perception of difference between humans and the groups that they compose may be common to all humanity, it cannot simply be concluded that racism is an innate phenomenon, much less a single, universal one. In fact, this is a type of social manifestation that shifts throughout history; it is relational in the sense that it always functions in certain delimited contexts and emerges as a political response to specific situations. Analyzed from this angle, racism can be understood as a social and plural phenomenon—as racisms
