In our society many people try to eliminate racism but some still are racist. You might not think about racism everyday but it happens a lot around the world. Even though all genders and races should be treated the same they are not and it can lead to personal issues just because of people looking different from each other. All women and men are created equal and the same. People in the world do not treat others fairly. We should get treated the same way not because you like white people or black
