Racial injustice in To Kill a Mockingbird was malevolent due to the executing of a black man with false evidence, but today the racial injustice appears to be eliminated although it still exists. Today the legal system will not tolerate the racism like it is in the book To Kill a Mockingbird. Racism is normal in Maycomb county some support it and others are against, the Finches are high in society, although they still respect the blacks.

One example of how she doesn't like doing girly things, was when Calpurnia’s mother called her from her room to the kitchen to learn how to bake apple pie, while calpurnia has no intentions of learning how to do that. “There's no need to look like that, it's only a cooking lesson.”
