Fortunately, I have never faced racism from anybody during the sixteen years that I have lived so far. I believe that this is partly due to the fact that I have always grown up in environments surrounded by children whose parents have taught them how immoral racism is. I am positive that if I had grown up in an uneducated neighborhood where the parents hadn't taught their children how unethical racism is, I would have been subject to it. I believe that racism is a radical form of bullying and I feel that racism is more common in the uneducated and usually poorer areas of society because it acts as a source from which the people can increase their self-esteem. By bullying people based on their ethnicity or color, the racists are able to feel better about the position they are in.
This link, http://tech.mit.edu/V121/N25/col25nesmi.25c.html, provides an article from The Tech, which is the newspaper of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, regarding racism. The article speaks of how racism still exists beneath the surface of society today, and the final sentence supports the case that the true solution to racism has not been found. It angers me that the few immoral members of society keep racism alive and well in society because the majority want to end it.
