    Racism is still an issue. What some people do not understand is that ‘racism’ is not just about using racial epithets. Racism is when you treat someone differently because of their race. Usually inherent in this ‘different’ treatment is the feeling of superiority in some form of fashion and this may manifest itself as fear or discomfort. At least that’s my take on it.

    I don’t know it the original answer to my question posted but all I was saying is that racism is definitely still prevalent. Racism is not always about ‘out’ and ‘out’ hate. It’s about in my eyes an inherent feeling on the parts of a group of people that they are in some ways superior to people of other races and it comes through in the way they interact with those people.
