I definitely think that racism and sexism is still around and that we are still having so many issues with this topic. It can be exposed in many bad ways as jokes and criticism but the worst part of it is when you are been pointed out because of your skin color or gender. The controversy over race is by far strong and alive in today's day. We sometimes ignore that we are still surrounded by people that don't like certain people. In my personal view, I believe that the way we are responding to all this racism is just creating a worst environment. I think that it doesn't matter how you look like or what is your skin color, respect and opportunities is not a privilege but a right.
One of my experience over the spring break was in a store at the Mall, I was very shock to see that some of the staff members from this store where like following around all the time this colored people just because they where black. I was really disappointed to see how people are labeling other humans being only because of their appearance. I think this topic is really important to all of us and that we have to do something about it. Making jokes out of this is not the solution for it. Creating debates about it will not get us where we want to be and treating people wrong for what they look like is a huge mistake.

I had a similar experince at the mall to. I notice how the employees are alwaya in a way stalking the colored people to see what they are up to. I to was very dissapointed when i saw this just for the fact that at the rate that we are going it seems that things are never giong to change.
ReplyDeleteYou have a great view about the issue of racism. You are also very curious about the things going on around you and I totally agree to your points of view. I think that stereotyping and racism is highly connected in these situations. It would be great if respect is highly practiced in day to day basis among the citizens of todays society.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you and the way you view this issue. I do not really believe there is a solution so solve this problem because I dont believe that racism or sexism will ever completely go away. This is always one group that will want to be catagorized above the others. Therefore, continuing the never ending cycle.
ReplyDeletei agree with what you are saying and racismin may never stop, it may be contained but i think that there wil always be some type of hatred and because of this we will always blame the person who we hate the most and this leads to racism.
