Discrimination And Stereoty

Discussing the topic of making judgments that are free from discrimination, is very distinct. It has to do with whether something is just (based on what is morally right) or not. People have different moral views about things, so in some cases it is hard to find a topic in which everyone completely agrees on and thinks is morally right. This problem is because people are raised in different ways. Even people that are born into the same races are raised differently. You have our elders, who lived in a different time period than people growing up today. For that reason, we see things from a different perspective. Our elders are used to the different races being separated with things like bathrooms, water fountains, and even restaurants. …show more content…
Stereotyping is never a good thing, it blocks off so many approachable opportunities. Stereotyping is like a brick wall on the path of life, you can’t see or continue on with life with it in the way, you have to get over it and only then will you see the many opportunities that open up. This article talks about how white people or white folk can say that they aren 't racist and have never been as many times as they want, but in all actuality they have either said, thought, or done something that was racist. Whether they meant to be racist or thought that they were being racist or not, that 's the way it would be labeled. White people always have to label a person of color according to their stereotype. There are all kinds of stereotypes that drive white people away from associating with people of color. There are so many implied judgments about different races that just make them look like horrible groups. Many of them have to do with the people of color being known for being involved in doing criminal or unlawful acts. What I think Sowell would say about this topic is that "Yeah, people can try to be as nonracist as possible, but in all actuality it won 't happen. Racism is something that will never go away.” Some white people are literally terrified of people of color because they think that they are prone to violence and are nothing but a bunch of criminals. My question is, why be afraid of people of color doing these things when we have white people committing crimes too. Most people will answer that question with saying that people of color are more prone to committing crimes or (more ignorantly) that it runs “in their blood. It is just not right to make assumptions like that. People of color have to go through the situation of walking into a store and being watched by the store employees. Well I have news for you.
