Racism can be defined as the belief that one race is superior to all other races. Racism has been around for centuries however, today there are not as many openly prejudice people. Some are racist against others merely because the color of another's skin color or religious differences. They focus on others outside features other than the inner characteristics one has. American History X is a great movie that will make racist people take a second thought about their views on other people and other ethnic backgrounds that differ from their own. There is racism all over the world, some places more than others so to me the movie doesn't portray racism that I have seen. But, there may have been similar acts of prejudice done in other parts of the world everyone has either been a victim of racism or have participated in an act of racism. At first in the movie there is a message that racism specifically against Africa Americans is s
They go into a grocery store and pour milk on a Hispanic woman and asked her if she liked it and said it would take away some of the color. He semi-succeeds but in the end his brother is killed bye a African American person at school. I wish everyone who is prejudice could turn his or her life around just like Derrick did. Derrick changes his ways and tries to get his brother to do the same. He gets sent to jail for the murder of two African American men. I believe that if the men who were robbing his car were Caucasian he wouldn't have gone to the extent of killing two of them. He influences his little brother Danny to carry out the same beliefs as he does. Since we will never get rid of stereotypes therefore we will never get rid of racism. The United States has come a very long way since the days of slavery. Derrick, a young "so called" Nazi skinhead is making racial slurs and comments about the African American race. He gets a whole new meaning of life and different views on people who aren't like him. The mood gets sort of well not evil and violent. Some of the acts in the movie are highly exaggerated. There are hundreds of different ethnic groups in New York and all over the U.
