Key word "Racial Discrimination"

In this picture, an African American girl is holding up a sign that says "no more failing our children in school." This fits the stereotypical view of when one says "racial discrimination," a black person as well as a failure in academics is pictured. The significance of this picture brings into mind the question of why isn't a white or yellow skinned person put into context. Black colored-skin people are more discriminated than any other race because of the long history our nation has against them and the present day's effect they have upon the nation still. It is assumed that a black person is not smart, is dangerous and of a lower upbringing. However, that isn't true because black skin-toned people can become something more, for example, Barack Obama.

Furthermore, black people are not the only ones that are being racially discriminated. Asian people are discriminated and judge as well. Asian people are judged to be smart and arrogant and cheap. White discriminates among themselves as well. Blond-hair girls are described to be dumb, redheads are hot tempered, or just plain white skin are joked to be easily lost in the snow.

Racial discrimination goes a long way back in history. Though it is becoming less and less of an issue in society, racial discrimination will always exist and dominate ones view of each race. When one goes on a bus and examines how a black person dresses, he/she will think and not say that the black person is dangerous and poor. The term "racial discrimination" will mainly be viewed towards a black skinned person due to the nation's history of discriminating against black and prior to that, having them as slaves. It's difficult for our nation to accept the terms of not discriminating by color of skin and therefore, keeps discriminating due to the mindset instilled upon them.
