Well, Racism is a topic that goes back centuries and has unfortunatley always been in our society. The belief that some races aremore superior than others, well it is disgraceful. When we look at our community, we should look at the behaviour of individual and only then we should decide who is worthy and unworthy of respect. There are people who conform and others who do not. Historical figures of the past, for example Hitler, fuelled Racism and much of the 2nd World War was based upon it. The extremes that were taken just to achieve racial purity - the gas chambers and the concentraton camps - what people went through, simply because one man believed thought Jews believed the wrongs things and looked different. It makes me feel sick to even write about it to be honest!
Fortunately, in the surroundings in which I live, I experience minimal Racism, however, it does go on all over the world and people are suffering in silence. It seems to be a topic that is brushed under the carpet and people assume it will sort itself out. As a society, we should all be trying to tackle these issues together, but like most things I fail to see how Racism will disappear any time soon. The racist people in the world in which we live are very difficult people to overcome. Take a look at this website, dedicated to preventing racism. http://www.naar.org.uk/
