My undergraduate thesis deals with exploring the understanding of racism in terms of moral theory. Firstly, I explain racism as a term, its historical importance and manifestation, then I answer the research questions I had set. In my first research question I present different approaches to racism in moral theory, in the second one I talk about the definitions of racism as understood by philosophers W. Thomas Schmid, J. LA Garcia, Joshua Glasgow and Lawrence Blum. With my last question I present opinions of the aforementioned philosophers about the moral status of racism. The conclusion of my thesis consists of my main findings and final thoughts.
