Discrimination is something that can happen anywhere in the world. The majority is white people discriminating colored people because they are different. Colored people do not fight back because they have gone through it and do not discriminate. Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird displays discrimination just like it is in the real world.

Colored people do not accept racism in any way and treat people
