Question

Why does racism still exist? What are some of the steps that would be necessary to eliminate racism, not only in Canada, but also in other parts of the world?

Answer 1

I believe that racism still exists because we were so used to shunning people of different races. When we had slaves and Abraham Lincoln put the Emancipation Proclamation in place the south was mad because that was how they made income, and it's not like we're going to get over the fact that they were once slaves. How are we supposed to treat people like human beings when they were just our slaves? I think that we have to start by showing others that we're all equal, we need to have them accept that fact that there is going to eventually be change. 

Answer 2

Racism still exists because people cant get over the fact that no matter how colored someone is, they are still equal. Some ways someone could eliminate racism is by making fees that racists have to pay if they are caught being racist.
