Summary: Racism is everywhere. People are constantly racially profiled, which is damaging. Certain events cause a boom in racism- 9/11, elections, etc,. People are even killed because of racism.

Reaction: I think this article is completely right. People are made fun of, discriminated against, and refused jobs because of racial discrimination. Falsely accused of crimes, becoming nothing but punchlines, and told they are scum because of a person’s race is extremely wrong and hurtful. This is a huge problem in today’s society. It can destroy a person’s life.

World impact: Racism takes place everywhere, not just the United States. It has been recorded all across the globe. Racism can occur in any region, and is just as damaging. Russia, the United Kingdom, Australia, even Canada- they all still contain heavy racism, along with others. It’s nearly impossible to stop such a world-wide problem, one that has festered for centuries, but it might be possible to make it better. Or to at least make a few more people understand that race, or background, shouldn’t really matter.
