Racism

Racism is, and in my opinion, always will be an ongoing issue in our society. It is is grossly overlooked amoung our society, and considering it magnitude, it is quite shocking that it is not taken more seriously. Racism is the gateway to many acts of violence and inhumanity, and is the root cause for many of the conlficts in the world today. Racism extends from something as small as joking about someones skin tone, to commiting hate crimes engaing in acts of violence against a certain gruop/type of people. Stereotyping is a large contributor to the issue of racism, and this will never end due to all the factors creating this issue. So what can we do ? Well, even if the odds of ending racism entirely are low, there are still things we can do to prevent it from happening as often. Even if you do something as small as pointing out the ingnorance of someone's statement, or the illegitimacy of someone's comment, it well help show people that participating in acts of racism are not acceptable. We can do this ! don't give up hope.
