Christian attitudes towards prejudice and discrimination GapFill

 RacialCulturalGenderReligious issues concern the engagement with and treatment of people of all different ethnic backgrounds in society. The UK is a  multifacetedmultifaithmulticulturalmultiparous society which contains many different people whose ethnicities stem from all parts of the world. It is something to be celebrated, as differences have enriched and enhanced the definition of what it means to be British. Unfortunately, issues of racial relations are present both in history and in modern-day interaction. One example of large-scale racial prejudice is the  slaveplayercardsblack market trade, in which people from the continent of Africa were taken to be sold to work as slaves in Western countries such as the UK and the US. This resulted in a huge amount of suffering for those sold into slavery, who were not permitted to live freely. While slavery has now been abolished, many African American people still experience modern forms of  sadnesspersecutionslaverystruggle such as police violence. Many people historically justified the slave trade on the basis that the Bible does reference slaves and masters, and this is a problem for some religious people. However, in the modern day most religious people emphasise that the Bible is very clear that God views all people as being  lovelyusefulhelpfulequal. For example, in  DeuteronomyGalatiansEphesiansJohn 3:28 it states that, 'all are equal in Christ Jesus'. Unfortunately in the modern day, while racial slavery has been abolished, some of the racist attitudes (e.g. viewing white people as being of more value than people of other ethnicities) still persist. For example, there are  JewishMuslimwhiteblack supremacist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan that still exist, who view people who are not Caucasian as being of less value.
