How would you like to be called names or even beat up because of you skin colour, religion, ethnicity, or beliefs? Imagine walking into a classroom everyone laughing at you, talking about you behind your back because of your race. Imagine not getting hired for a work because of you race. Imagine playing sport everyone singing negative chants about your race. Well this is happening everyday all around the world. But first let’s describe Racism. Racism is the discrimination of a person because of the race that they have inherited. Racism is very ugly. It divides people into ‘us’ to ‘them’ depending on there culture etc. its an extremely serious issue that faces society today yet people still think its cool to tease and even beat up a person because of their accent, because they aren’t good at something, their skin colour, their religion and culture. Being racist to someone can create negative and dangerous emotional responses. It does not only lead to social problems but racism also harms the victims but also to others. In most cases it causes the victim to feel depressed, angry, helpless and sad and then in severe cases in can escalate to suicidal. And the sad thing is in most severe cases suicides are usually carried out by very young teenagers. That’s a young teenager’s with their whole life ahead of them loss because a couple of people cant accept that they are a little different from them culturally, traditionally or even religiously? A common question that is asked from people all around the world is ‘If racism has such negative affects on people, then why are people racist?’ Many reasons come into my mind but the main reasons why I think people are racist is because they can’t accept people that are different from them, Another reason is unfamiliarity. Unfamiliarity can also lead to people to be racist. A lot of the times people say what they don’t understand. If people don’t grow up around a particular race and are told stereotypical things
