Racism: interpreted by Daniel G

Racism is when a person, or a group of people are being attacked by another group because that group believes it is superior or better for some reason. People are always under this threat for just being a certain race or gender. An example in today's modern time when Hispanics try to come to this country. People, especially in the southwest, judge many Hispanics as terrible people, drug dealers, and jobs stealer. However, in real life, those that are saying these things, are to arrogant to realize that they don't come here for that reason. I am not saying that all Hispanics that come into the country are good, there are good and bad people alike in any race. One thing that has shown racism in the southwest, is part of the Arizona State law where they state that those that are born in the country that came form another country, mainly referring to Mexico and Hispanics, are not considered true citizens even though they are born here, and will be forced to leave. Although my description of state law is limited, it does go against the Constitution and the 14th amendment, an amendment which in the 1800's was created to protect the rights of all citizens of the country. It shows that even Racism can become law in the country.
