Racism is thought to have died down ever since people fought for the rights of minorities back in the day. However, this may not be the case at all. Racial slurs or discrimination against a certain race display such animalistic behavior. These hateful acts often occur even in today's world. We notice in today's society that minorities are sometimes out-casted by the main race within in a region. We also notice some racial slurs, made by important radio, political, or media figures, in which offends certain races. A prime example of a person who has been involved with such altercations would be Don Imus. On a radio talk show he called out the Rutger's Women's basketball team by stating that they were all "nappy headed hoes". This has been one of the biggest racial slur altercations in a while, and in my opinion truly represents racial acts. Now whether, he meant it in a racist type way or not, is not of the importance. What's important is that he stated such an offensive statement in which could 100% be taking as a racial slur. These types of acts occur often and sometimes even daily in today's society. This could be considered Racism at its "finest".
out-casted should be ostracized; did Imus say this for publicity?
