Yet, there continues to be a slew of prominent individuals who employ cultural racism when discussing the opportunities and success of blacks and Hispanics. Inciting visions of the American Dream, claiming with hard work and perseverance, anyone can be successful in America (Bonilla-Silva 2003). The problem with this is that the United States has managed to convince people that an individual’s hard work is the only determinant of accomplishment in this country. This ideology denies the power of oppression or privilege on any person’s chances for success, and feigns that every individual, regardless of their race has the same access to the opportunities of America. This sort of rise of color-blind thinking in the past few decades implies that…
Racism is a global problem that has existed throughout the history of mankind. Despite the different kinds of measures taken against racism including African-American Civil Rights movement, Anti-Apartheid Movement, Hate Crime Laws, or bans on any racism manifestations, it continues to be a constant concern.

Racism is visibly a continuing pattern in Australian society. It has been prevalent for many years, and has infiltrated through many generations of Australians. It is a highly observable fact, yet often ignored. It can be seen that the reason for it, however, can be based on the poor education system in Australia. In my essay, I will be discussing how racism forms at a young age due to our education system, what is being done about it, racism towards ethnic students and how racism is prevalent in many educational institutions.…
