Young people know about racism everywhere, but they take them as a joke. Teenagers don't know how serious and horrible racism has been. We have had cases of people killing them self because of this reason or murdering somebody because of their race. Racism not only exist towards black people but toward other people like Hispanic, White, African and so on. One big problem the feeds the racism of this world is, the words spoken by our ancestor, it passes on and it just feeds racism because kids grow with these words in there head and even in their hearts such as "I hate these .... people, they are so ..." kids grow hearing this things sense the moment they where born.
When it comes to racism there is a lot of stereo types, all you hear is white boys are smart and rich and white girls are dumb Blonds, black girls have big butty, Nappy hair, and are ghetto, black boys are gang members, do drugs and are failures, i have a black boy friend he is not ghetto nor does drugs or is a failure. Hispanic are easy to nice, punks, and are always pregnant with different baby's father, I'm a Hispanic girl and I'm 17 and not pregnant, I'm not easy and I'm not all that nice. when it comes to Hispanic boys they are punks alcoholic, and rapes and people from the middle east are terrorist. Its different for boys and girls.
When it comes to girls being insulted or a Victim of racism, they generally take it more serious about it, and are more affected by it, I know I do. They are not only insulted because of the color of their skin, they get insulted for who they really are also. When people are raises to girls, they insult them call them names such as female dogs, or easy. They don't talk about not only what color they are but about what they do because of their color. In the movie "A Girl Like Me" the girls talk about how black girls are suppose to have bigger botties than any other raise that's a stereo type, or how they have uglier hair or that they are ugly because of their skin color.
