Has racism been truly eliminated as claimed by many today?

in #racism8 years ago


No one can claim that racism has ended all over the world. Racism has many forms. It is not only the color of skin but also the type of skin tone, body structure, physique, height, color of the eyes and hair can become a matter of discrimination.

Discrimination is still prevailing in many other forms all over the world. Still many people hate or don't like those who belong to different caste, creed, religion, ethnicity etc. Also, the way of talking, way of dressing, way of worshiping and way of eating can be the subject matter of mutual differences.

Normally, people prefer the company of the people who have the same traits as they have. They likes to live between the person who have the same skin color or the same believes etc.. When people migrate to some other countries, they always find the places where the persons of the same community are already dwelling. It seems normal but it automatically alienate them from the people of different orientation. People feel safe between the person who are like them, Is it not equivalent to fear of different people? It is evident that fear is the starting point of rising differences, lack of trust and finally contention..

Sexual orientation of persons can make them unwanted in particular types of societies. LGBT community is still not acceptable in many parts of the world,

In many Islamic countries non-Muslims have no rights in comparison to the Muslims. Non-Muslims have to live according to the pleasure of the Muslims. They cannot practice their religion freely as compared in other Western countries. Also, Muslims are being seen as terrorists in many parts of the world and are being ill treated for the sins of some bigots. Is this all not racism>

In India, particularly in villages, high caste Hindus don't like to mix up with the low caste people because they think them untouchable i.e. person who is not worth to be touched. They have no rights to live dignified life in some backward parts of India. People prefer to marry with a fare colored man or woman there. It becomes very difficult for black girls to find a suitable husband in India.

In the USA, more black people are killed by the police in comparison to the white people. There are majority of black convicts in the US jails.

There are numerous examples which proves that racism has not yet eliminated completely from this world. It is still prevailing in many forms and in many parts of the world. With the rising global crises, this problem is increasing again. However, discrimination solely based on color is not so prevalent as it was many years ago. Success of black people in many fields have changed the mindset of people considerably.
