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.

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.

The mood gets sort of well not evil and violent. Today it is hard to tell if acts of violence are done because of racial reasons because being racist isn’t the so-called “cool” thing to be these days. The United States has come a very long way since the days of slavery. ------------------------------------------------------------------------**Bibliography**.
