the United States, racism unveiled itself through segregation, privileges in education, immigration, voting rights, citizenship, land acquisition, and criminal procedure. Racism is one of the most important social issues which has affected millions of people worldwide.

Racism is and has always been an issue surrounding different societies. Racism always leaves a stain and has its effects on a society for a long time. One of the novels that has paid great attention to this issue and demonstrating the effects of it in a society is To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. This novel takes place in 1930’s and it is safe to say that racism is one of the main themes of the book. Throughout the whole story, it is clearly demonstrated that racism has a lot of negative effects
The book I read was called, “Race without Racism,” by Eduardo BonillaSilva. Dr. Bonilla Silva gives us a looked into his research and a peak into certain individual views on how they talk about or avoid talking about race issues. A lot of people refuse to talk about race and therefore we live in a very color blind society and that's not a good thing. People of color and whites see racial matters very differently. To explain this idea behind color blind racism he uses interview data to explain these
this barrier is driven by a chaotic force known as racism. Over the years, racism has morphed into a power so vicious it tears people apart and soils the unity of humanity, creating a division between the different types of people who live together. In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, the prime targets of racism are the members of the African-American community, and they are treated poorly by many of the people who live in Maycomb.

The book Searching for Whitopia and my own personal opinion on the difference between the concepts are similar, and the book has some very good examples to refer too.

But it proves that interpersonal and structural racism are two different

We see this issue recurring amongst Indigenous Australians, migrants and refugees. Racism refers to the beliefs, practices and types of behaviours that underlie unfair and avoidable inequalities towards groups in society based on race, ethnicity, culture or religion (Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC), 2015).

In recent discussions of the television show, Family Guy, a controversial issue has been whether Family Guys superficial offensive jokes draws attention to racism in America. On the one hand some argue that Family Guy is not racist because if everyone makes fun of everyone including them selves, how can it be racist. From this perspective, the show Family Guy shows us that it is okay to make fun of everything and everyone or nothing, they also can make fun of themselves, their own religion, race
as racism. Racism is the belief that one specific race is better or worse than another. This caused major tension throughout the 1900s because most African Americans were being judged by their skin color or race. The books, To Kill a Mockingbird, Of Mice and Men, and The Ethics of Living Jim Crow: An Autobiographical Sketch, all depict what racism and judgement appeared in those time periods. Through the dialogue of the character and proverbs from the wiser characters, the reader learns about judgement
importance of tackling issues around racism requires one to understand that racism is about unequal power (Carmichael & Hamilton, 1967). This is due to the ranks of advantage and privilege (Mosenodi, 2007). W.E.B du Bois largely found and broadcasted the predicaments of the 12th century, which was race (Chitando, 2000). White privilege are outcomes of racial disparities which can be linked to the result of environmental inequities or economic status (Pulido, 2015). Racism is then seen as an estimated and
