Racism is caused by ignorance and not being able to accept the people in your community, and we should learn from the old days when racism was prominent so we can improve the future.

Scout was recollecting a memory about Mr. Radley saying that Boo wouldn't go to any insane asylum and the sheriff wouldn't put him in jail, this is what he said, "The sheriff hadn't the heart to put him in jail alongside Negros" (Lee 12).

Scout, Cal, and Jem were visiting the Negro church when Scout asked Cal why there weren't any hymn books, Cal replied, "Wouldn't do them any good, they can't read" (Lee 141).

Atticus was giving his closing argument to the jury on Tom Robinson's case when he said, "And so, a quiet, respectable, humble Negro who had the unmitigated temerity to 'feel sorry' for a white woman has had to put his word against two white people's" (Lee 232).

When Mr. Radley says that the sheriff wouldn't dare put Boo in jail with Negros we can infer that the only people in jail are black people, and the sheriff wouldn't put a white person near a black person. We can infer 2 things here, one, since the Negros have a much harder time due to prejudice, they are put in jail much more often. And two, Everybody in Maycomb believes that even the worst white people still aren't as bad as any Negro which shows how lowly they think of Negros.

The main thing that I can infer from this statement is that Negros don't get as good of an education as white people do because of prejudice and racism. This is why none of them can read, and why the black people have their own separate church, away from the white people.

This might be the biggest showing of racism in the whole book, Atticus proves that not only is Tom innocent, but that the two white people were lying the whole time. So why is there a case in the first place then? Because Tom is black and white people get more respect that Negros do. This is why Tom even went to trial.

I think the most obvious case of racism today is the Black Lives Matter movement going on right now. I could talk forever about this but I will narrow it down to just police brutality. There is no doubt that there have been some incidents were a black man or woman was shot by a police officer. Now I have my own opinion about this subject but really what it boils down to is someone was killed, it really doesn't matter what color their skin is. We should be mad when anybody is killed in an unfair way. But recently black people have been getting killed and it needs to end.

Some people are taking their anger about coronavirus out on Asian Americans. This is quite sad because they had nothing to do with it, but people just need to point their fingers at someone.

This isn't as much of racism, but just stereotypes. For as long as I can remember there has always been the drug dealer stereotype about Mexicans. There has been the genius stereotype about Asians. and of course there are stereotypes about African Americans. At some point they just need to stop. We are all humans, why should we be subjected to stereotypes beyond our control.
