What is one example of racism in America today?

Question

I need an example of racism happening today.

Answer 1

White (males in particular) being discriminated against in hiring processes.

Answer 2

I live in a run down, trashy, cheap neighborhood. One of our neighbors seems to assume that every black poor black man living in the area is a drug dealer or... I guess the word I'm looking for is consumer? Well, it's really not true at all as far as I know. But I think it has to do with the way he was raised. He's an older man, and we do live in the south... I'm not sure what he thinks of his broke white neighbors... I don't think he thinks about them much.

I wonder if a point of racism is what you immediately think of with this question... For instance, I very quickly thought about a white man contributing to racism against poor black men. I think that would contribute to racism against white men...

And I guess I'm white... though I'm some mixture of multiple races and come off as more tan...

Placed yesterday
This is a new report of a family that, because their middle eastern and constantly traveling, had their 18 month old baby considered a terrorist. Because of this their baby can no longer go on air flights so they were taken to office to discuss the matter.

Ever since this foolish war, there have been so much abuse to the middle eastern :(

If you can't come up with one of those on your own, you must live under a rock. Some instance of potentially racial "hate crime" is being reported on the news on a weekly basis, sometimes more than that.

Answer 7

affirmative action is racist against caucasians. jobs should be given to the most productive and qualified, not based on some quota that discriminates against whites. Our people have been given a misjustice on purpose along with destroying the middle class.

Answer 8

Zimmerman being ripped to shreds over what he did. Meanwhile when a black guy does the same thing to a white guy it hardly gets any mention in the mainstream media.

Answer 9

Movies being either mostly white people, or mostly black people. There is no movie that has an in-between.
