Stereotypes play a major role in these racial issues. It is these same racist views that lead news reporters to call a black teenager who stole one cigarette a “thug” while calling a white teenager who molested kids “a confused adolescent”. These same racial stereotypes have led many unarmed black men to get killed by police men merely because they looked suspicious. I consider that a racial problem because an unarmed black man is more likely to end up killed by the police than a white man that just performed a shooting in a public place. Although we have come a long way, we are not where we need to be in terms of racial equality. The racial problems/ inequality we face today are a result of American History. Hundreds of years of discrimination are what have led to today 's race relations in American
