Is racism still a big issue in the United States?

[QUOTE="SIapshot"]

[QUOTE="ishoturface"]What do you think? Racism will never die, but do you think the US has a racism problem? Or are we doing pretty well?helium_flash

I concur...

Racism is only a problem b/c some minorities refuse to let it go away. Yes, injustices were committed in the past, but acting like you're entitled to something now is no way to solve it.murlow12

Why should they let it go? Its still and it happens to them presently.

Well its quite understandable due to the status of minorities. Of course though most whites will still not agree with affirmative action because it puts them in a unfavorable position. Have you even been a victim of affirmative action?

Yeah, affirmative action is a pile of crap. They need to do away with it along with racial quotas and everything else like unto it. It should be about who's the most qualified, not about who's black and who's white and who's male and who's female.

Racism is not only a problem in the US but also in Israel. In Israel there is racism against Ethiopian Jews. Many don't see them as Jewish because they are black. I'm brown (i was born in Brazil) and also faced racism in high school.

Speaking from experience, people from the South in the USA aren't really racist as the people from the North and media tries to make them as such. Out of the five visits where I went to Texas-there was only one racist incident I happen to experience and the general public who witness frowned upon on that person. Seriously. people from the north and the media such as Family Guy EXTREMELY EXAGGERATE the racist problems in the South yet deny their own current problems such as the " White Flight " action going on in the Northern states of America.greenprince

Really? Then why did Alabama vote during the last election to keep segregation law for schools on the books? (it is overwritten by the Supreme court, but the population chooses to still have it as state law).

The United States? I don't know, then again it must be a problem if I'm constantly getting looked at suspiciously in my own town. -Twilight-

Must be a problem in my area too because I can't walk my dogs without people smiling at them (Basset Hounds FTW). Jeeze man, get over yourself.

Yes racism is a problem but no where near when it comes to social class.. In the end social class workings are the ultimate inequality in the United States... When born poor in the nation, your standard of living is lower (odviously) and your chances are far fewer due to poor education and other such aspects.

Also right after 9/11 we had a huge influx of fear and hatred towards middle easterners.. Hell I work for a coffee shop and due to us being owned by the 3rd Arab bank people were coming in saying that we support terrorism... Some even said not terrorism but specifically Islam.. Some of these people need to good away.

Hell, my girlfriend is a 25 year old Filipino, and her family is poor. She pretty much runs the financial status of her entire family. Her parents are pretty much leaches as they can't control their spending habits. She recently got accepted to Virginia Tech, and has been taking out loans to pay for it.

If you do poorly in school, it is your own fault. Not your parents', or society's, or even the school's. Your own fault.
