1. Racism In The USA Today By: Alicia Gomez

8. Where It Takes Place? Racism or discrimination can take place on the job, in school, hospital, etc,. For example, in the housing market, racism against African Americans and Hispanics leads to greater difficulty renting apartments of buying a home. This is because in some white neighborhoods there is fear of having African Americans or Hispanics moving in. White people are scared that either one of these minorities can bring violence into their neighborhood. What we don’t realize is that the lack of contact among groups makes it easy for stereotypes to continue, and will keep racism alive.
