Race

Dating back to slavery race and racism towards African Americans was an issue in which African Americans had to face discrimination on a daily basis. Today the discrimination is to a lesser consent but still exist. Not only do African Americans be treated unfairly but with more immigrants living in America Latinos are becoming the new race that is being discriminated. But the discrimination is not always negative as America is being to adapt to the new society. Television shows such as Dora the Explorer on Nickelodeon who is a Spanish speaking character brings a new version of integrating and focusing on children who may be minorities. With more minorities coming, the racism will decrease. As America deals with issues towards Latinos, African Americans still face problems of racism today. From reading Andrew Hacker and Tim Wise's articles both have similar ideas agreeing that blacks are mistreated. Stereotypes and racial profiling are common among the racism America shows towards blacks. Acts of negative connotations, false accusations, hate read and violence have occurred to the African American race. When taking the test in the hidden bias my test results found that I was somewhat to a little racist towards the African American race. The results said that I showed a quicker reaction time when seen positive words connecting with the race of white. I was surprised with my test results because I do not think I am racist towards African Americans but giving characteristics it did show that the white faces where easier to identify positive traits than the blacks. Racism in America must stop so everyone can be treated fairly.
