It is hard to believe that racism still exists now a days. It is an issue that has existed since anyone can remember. To be able to end it will be a difficult task. I believe it is something that will never end. Racism has definitely gone a long way from the how it was to be before, but there will always be those groups, like the Ku Klux Klan, that will not accept the fact the we are all equal in this world. I, as a Mexican-American have experienced racism towards me and it is not how an individual person should act towards another when they don't know that person to begin with. It is a hurtful experience to see a person act towards one in one way and then act completely different with another simply because of their ethnicity and class. To say that a person is more important because of the amount of money they earn is not a good justification. In order to end racism people need to be more understanding of other peoples cultures and although might not relate to them, be able to understand them. If people who are racist would stop being ignorant and took the time to get to know the culture and values of those they dont like they might end up liking and enjoying it. Everyone is different,but that does not mean that one group is better, or more important than the other. Everyone should respect and acknowledge the others race and ethnicity, religion and faith.
