We still have racism in our society because people are still passing it on from one generation to the other.

No child is born racist and every racist wasn't born that way. The truth is that the society itself has been set up to propagate racist beliefs in the minds of children and adults alike. The negative stereotypes that we attach to every race is a typical example of why racism still exists, once you see a black man running, your probably going to believe that he stole something, or if you enter an office and you see a white man in the midst of many black people, you're instantly going to believe he's the boss.

If you see a Latino with lots of tattoos then you're going to conclude that he's a gang member. It's these little things that we pass down to the next generation that makes sure that racism still exists because when the younger generations start adopting these negative stereotypes, racist thoughts and actions are never too far behind.

It's amazing how something as trivial as the colour of our skin can make such a huge impact on how we humans treat each other, but nobody is born with a racist mindset, it's something that you learn, to stop racism in our society then we have to cut it out from the minds of the younger generations.

I hope this helps.
