There is racism still today, yes. The thing is it's no longer just caucasians discriminating against the african americans, it's native americans against caucasians, caucasians against native americans, it's african americans against caucasians, and it's still caucasians against any non-caucasian ethnicity. And that isn't all of the discrimination against ethnicities either. Discrimination is still a major issue today, it just has changed, we now have gender discrimination, sexual preference discrimination, and many more types.

Howzabout when people say that someone is 'acting black' or 'acting white'? Or the too-popular phrase 'It's because I'm black isn't it?' And then there's the sentiment against Hispanics and Asians... and middle-easterners and I could go on for ever, because we are still incredibly racist. You can't escape something this blatant. sad

Caucasians have imposed themselves on other ethnicities since Europe decided to go into trade with other ethnicities. Thus, they've seen each other as business partners and only that. It wasnt until later decades that the Europeans decided to use slaves from other countries to bring about an easier lifestyle. Thats why you typically see a white man in the Southern States with black slaves. Sometimes, these feelings can be cruel and they traet the minorities like s**t. Sometimes rebellions by their slaves would bring about racism towards the white man......Anyway, after many decades and laws, we are almost equal, yet those past feelings still linger on in the future generations and it may take more time before we get rid of the racist feelings for good

MissAnnoyingPants I know that there are still racist people. I have a friend who's great and fun to be around, but whenever something of hers gets stolen, she usually blames it on blacks or mexicans. She even still uses the N word... You have answered your own question.

idkisdk Brilliant Insanity Racism is always going to exist. It has nothing to do with anyone making speeches or taking the tape off of the classroom floor. The world, the laws, they may change, but the people are always going to be the same. Racism isn't a fad, it isn't a law, it isn't some material object. It's the pompous idea that one race is better than another. And that isn't something that can be erased off of a chalkboard. Every race does it. And yes. Caucasians, white people, whatever, they seemed to be the "start" of it all. But you can't say that other races thought just like we did? It's just human nature to be self-centered and pompous. Ah, but people can change. No one has the same idea from the time they were born, and through the rest of their life! These little knights... And since people can change, they can go from being an equal person to a racist person. ...will rock your world

These little knights... There is no escaping it. One person will always think their race is better or that other race is dumber. As long as two races fight there will always be problems. I don't mean to be racist (lol?) but I'm certainly having issues with Mexicans. They've flooded my state (and the whole country, possibly, but I'm focusing on my state and area), and turn things upside down. We have gang problems we never had before these large illegal immigrants started flooding in. I've seen staff in my schools who had to translate for Spanish speaking kids only into English just so they can understand what the Hell everyone else is saying. And of course, jobs. I'm not saying they don't have a right to their job. It's just I'd rather see it go to someone who's legal, not illegal and sending the money back to his family in Mexico. And speaking of money, most Mexicans in my area are dishonest about it. A family friend of our's sells hay. His Mexican neighbor bought some from him, but couldn't pay it all. So Jim (the friend) put it on his tab. Next thing he knows, the neighbor is coming with hay from somewhere else. He understands money is tight for everyone but the jerk could have at least PAID for the hay he already bought from him. He's STILL fighting to get his money because whenever they try to get money from the jerk, he always get responses like, "We don't have a (whatever his name is) here." or "No speak English." or some other lame excuse to get out of paying.
So I'll admit. I'm SLIGHTLY racist towards Mexicans. But I also have Mexican friends. Maria and Bianca are some of the greatest girls I know. I make racist jokes at them and they laugh and make jokes back at me for being white. I'm not totally racist. I just don't enjoy MOST Mexicans as they start trouble on way or another.
The point is though, racism will always exist. Someone will always have one problem with another race. It cannot be stopped. ...will rock your world

Yes there is no question that racism is still around. I see it daily. and there are still factions of supremisits like the kkk neo nazis or whatever the black panthers, and then sub divisions of such groups exist as gangs...people are still ignorant and still need a reason to dislike one another. I will never understand how you can like someon thats selfish self centered and ignorant to the people in their lives and the world around them...but dislike someone because they speak with an accent or have a skin tone different from your own.

It definitely does, we had a pair assignment in our school and there was this Malay who didn't want to pair with me(I think because I'm Chinese? Most probably cause he said something like Chinese sucks) no matter what. Evven though I was the ONLY guy left with no group. We ended up doing it alone.
