How prevalent is racism in your community?
Submitted by Admin on Thu, 07/31/2008 - 16:05
Do you think racism is limited to certain parts of the country or the world? Can it be easily overcome? Have instances of racism become more unacceptable in recent years?
Well, I live in Australia, so racism isn't something that we encounter very often. I live in an extremely multi-cultural society, and appreciate the anti-racist attitude that my friends, community and country have.
In my opinion i don't think racism is "limited" to just one area or one country, because believe it or not racism is everywhere.Regardless if it's shown or hidden,acted on or not it's there! What i do think is that racism tends to "show" up more in the U.S.A than in other coutnries! What i mean by this is that people in the states are more likely to put it out that they hate a race unlike if you're over in other parts of the world where they might give signs but won't exactly come out and say it!
I live in a city where its 99% latinos (so am i) but we dont have a problem with anyone..
A new subtopic of 'Racism' should be Expansion Racism. My school is expanding into Harlem, which is one of the more low-income areas in New York. The school is evicting at least 5,000 residents of Harlem, who are mostly African-American. The school is NOT giving equal compensation for their actions.
racism has incompased the entire world its not always the complection of the skin it can be the color of your hair, or eyes.
how do you over come a world wide problem?
No, while speaking out about racism is more previlent things haven't really changed. my co-workers see me as a "white" girl. while racism is eligal in the work place my mother is treated differently than myself because she is "indian" in their eyes though they never have taken the time to really get to know her or inquired her ethnicity[mexican].
Racism has become more swept under the rug. The only thing we can truly is facilitate the change in attitude by ignoring the stereotypes and proving them untrue. The rest will come with time.
Where I live [New Jersey] racism is everywhere I go. I've been through so much involving people calling me a "cracker" and "white trash" and "trailer park trash". I believe that some people are simply brushing the facts off of their shoulders only because they want to pretend as though it is not happening, therefor leaving people like me in the dust having basically no one to turn to. It hurts to have people judge you by the color of your skin and not the real you. As I see it, racism lies more in the urban and suburban areas along the east coast and the west coast.
Lucky you.
Well I get racial remarks because I am half Christian half hindu is there anything wrong with that??? Respond back because I would like to know what your opinions are on mixed children???
