People don’t take racism seriously since it’s ”2017”
and it’s no longer an issue and fail to release that racism is more than just what in the heart of a person at the moment of a racist act, but can be an idea developed over time as a result of what that person is exposed to. For instance, the patterns you see in news article titreleasing about tragic shooting that occur if the person doing the shooting was black he is a “thug”, if he was white it was caused by a “mental-illness”, if he was arab he is a “muslim-terrorist” and he is asian then he couldn’t handle the “pressure from both parents and society”. These ideas develop over time when causes a person to be prejudice overtime and commit unacceptable hate crimes. In Canada more half of the 1401 hate crimes committed in were motivated by racial ethnicity.
In conclusion, racism should be taken more seriously and should be taught from various perspective because it's only when people understand one another that the world can reach a state of peace.
