racism is all around



by KG

Are you racist? If you are this might help you change. For those of you that aren't, maybe this will help you stay that way.There are a lot of people out there that are racist.People that are racist should change.I don't think they'll like it if someone else fought them.Just because he or she is racist. I don't understand why people are like that.I will understand if you hate someone because of how they act, not just because they are from a certain race.

Racism is a bad thing. It effects everyone of all ages especially if they are children. Children get more effected, especially if their parents are racist. Children are suppose to interact with other children. I think they learn more if they interact with children of another race.That way they learn from other cultures. It is really messed up if two children are playing and then one of the kids parents tell him or her otherwise. However, that is exactly what happens. Kids grow up wanting to play with kids of other races, but their parents force them to segregate.

Also teens suffer from other people that are racist or turn racist.People from another race get bullied. It ends up into a racial fight. African-American vs. whites, Latino vs. Asians or all the races together. It could get really ugly and all over what kind of race they are. That is sad just because they're from another race someone gets really injured. But it's true. It happens in our high schools when they have race riots.

Racism could happen anywhere. For example, an African-American goes into a store.The owner follows that person all over the store.When a white guy is stealing from the store, they could have caught that person. No, but instead the owner follows the African-American.That could happen anywhere at anytime. Or a cop follows around a group of Mexicans in a truck, assuming they are illegal or that they are gangsters causing trouble. Or maybe it's in a neighborhood where a white guy comes in dressed all nice and they think, "he must be here to buy drugs," so they beat him up and tell him to never come back.

Racism is a big issue everywhere, especially in the U.S. the place that its most likely to happen is at school. People should try to change. Not only will they make a good change but they will interact with other people from another race.They might find out that two people from a different race are the same. So please help stop racism.
