Many more races are effected by racism, which isn’t the only form of being unjust,

    These were some of my favorite readings so far that we had been required to read through.

The three readings I enjoyed the most are Defining Racism: “Can We Talk?” by Beverly Daniel Tatum, Color-Blind Racism by Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, and Smells Like Racism by Rita Chaudhry Sethi. What I liked about Bonilla-Silva’s piece is the quotes taken from the white privilege.

    Overall, racism still exists in some way. The problem why our society thinks that racism doesn 't exist anymore is because racism isn 't expressed in a direct way today. The reason we let racism go is because we don 't realize it in the first place. Our race is built by us and it can only be diminished by us. If we overcome media each race would be respected the same and inequality wouldn 't exist as much.

    Racism Racism is the conviction that qualities and capacities can be credited to individuals basically on the premise of their race and that some racial gatherings are better than others. Bigotry and separation have been utilized as capable weapons empowering apprehension or disdain of others in times of contention and war, and notwithstanding amid monetary downturns. Racism is also a very touchy subject for some people, as issues concerning free speech and Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights come into play.

Others point out that these words can lead to some very dire and serious consequences (the Nazi government policies being one example).
