Race+and+Ethnicity+in+America+Reflection

"It's so hard to face that in this day and age." Racism is such as difficult subject to cover due to the sensitivity felt through out the races, white, black, brown, and yellow, due to America's rough history with inequality and mistreatment. What also makes it very different is some are okay with joking about race, but there are others who believe that it is not okay. Some believe in the double standard that it is ok to joke only about your own race, or only white people are banned from making racist jokes. People need to realize that all colors on the racial spectrum are indeed a race, and do face racism. Each group faces stereotypes, such as Mexicans getting hot sauce when performing in a concert, or that all white people are privileged and don't have a right to complain about racism. History and its affects on today's society have hindered us greatly, but I do not believe that prejudice is permanent. Our generation is known as the 'rainbow generation,' known for being accepting of those who beat to a different drum. I believe that we can make it past the prejudice and racism with time and acknowledgement of the sensitiveness from all parts of the racial spectrum.
