Genetic Discrimination and Racism [State of the Art]

Reports on the relationship between racial discrimination and the field of genetics. Discrimination seems to be an intrinsic trait inherent in our very being. We, as people, seem to be disposed to discriminate either for or against those who, for one reason or another, are unlike us. This dissimilarity may be recognized in speech, dress, comportment, age, or a host of other differences. Thus, there is discrimination against people speaking different languages, wearing different clothes, physical capabilities, or ageism.
