Hello!
I believe a gerund is a "ing" word taking place as a noun. We can't be 100% sure, because it is not used in a sentence, it depends on how you use it in the sentence if it is a gerund or not. Overall, the word "writing" is not a gerund.
Hope this helps! ☺♥
Racism has effected many people for years and years and it's only going to continue to effect them. We should be helping to prevent racism and try and make a better society because eventually we will have kids and with the society we have now our kids wouldn't thrive at all. Kids of all color and race should be able to go to school or go to the story or watch a movie without being stereotype, looked at differently, and/or discriminated against.
