=Racism in the World Today= Racism is defined as a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others. Racism has been a growing problem in the world for a long time, many people believe that it is almost eliminated but the real truth of the matter is that it is still evident everywhere. media type="youtube" key="bFO1b9I-u5Q" width="322" height="285" align="right" Racism has a very long history. The most evident form of racism to people in the united states is slavery. Slavery existed in the United States for about two hundred years. However even after it was abolished racism was still evident. The pro's and con's of racism are that the "superior" race is able quickly advance in society by taking advantage of the "inferior" race. The con's of racism are that it is demeaning and cruel to the race considered to be "inferior". They are equal human beings and should not be judged by the color of their skin.

The pictures above show how racism is not one sided. Many people think that racism is when white people think that they are better than black people. However racism can be any combination of one race beliveing that they are superior to another. The chart below represents the rate of discrimination when people are applying for a job.
