Racism

there are two types of racism prevalent in todays society, implicit and explicit. implicit is hidden racism where it is not shown on purpose but is in the back of our minds. an example of implicit racism can be the news article where a minority is 'looting' food while a white couple 'finds' the food. this wasnt done on purpose but it just goes to show what is going on in our subconscious. explicit is shown racism where it is quite obvious that some individuals are racist. an example of explicit racism is groups such as the KKK showing their hatred for jews and others through demonstrations and parades. although implicit might seem less demeaning than explicit, both are still very bad. it is because of the society before us and the society we live in today that has had these effects on us. people are always being judged first solely on the color of their skin or ethnicity. although some ethnicities can be different from others but look the same we put them in the same category stereotyping them. in order for us to overcome these stereotypes we must look past the color and ethnicities of others and look into the person that they actually are.
