The vicious circle of racism describes the process where physical differences lead to unequal treatment of a group, which results in people acting differently from one another, creating stereotypes about the unequally treated group, and further distinguishing groups based on differences. This cycle reinforces and perpetuates racism. Social stratification refers to the categorization of individuals into social groups based on factors like wealth, occupation, and education. The scapegoat dialectic refers to blaming a particular group for societal problems, often leading to prejudice and discrimination against that group. Ethnic identity maintenance refers to how individuals maintain and identify with their ethnic or cultural background.
