Racism
The United States have always been plagued with racism, whether racial, gender or class discriminations. In the wake of September eleventh, racial prejudices have become increasingly prevalent. Racial tensions have been stirred by these horrific acts and human nature has prevailed. There is always a need to blame others for one's troubles and naturally towards the group related to the problem. This increasing tension can be seen from the entire country to our own schools. Even though America represents an ideal life, racism and prejudices still lie in subtle forms that effect our daily lives. Americans like to see themselves as law-abiding citizens who uphold American ideals. One of the most fundamental ideals American represents is the "everyone is created equal and free." It could be a perfect world if this were so, however people often discriminate in subtle ways. Even though America prides itself on it's cultural diversity, people are not very accepting personally.

The most fundamental American ideal is equality and when that basic right is threatened, racial prejudices are shown. As they walked passed me, apparently paying no attention, they began yelling, "Allah, Allah. Even though America has advanced culturally, the racial undertone is always present. Colored people were frowned upon in our history and there always was a racial tension, even in today's advanced society. The town of East Brunswick, NJ is very culturally diverse, yet an unforgiving place. One day, I was walking down the halls of ABRHS and any visitor to the school could tell that I was part of a minority in the school. From America, to our own school, racial tensions effect every relationship and will cause prejudices to be unveiled.
