Racism affects peoples lives in many ways depending on race, gender, & class though gender usually goes with sexism. Though there have been many efforts to reduce its power it is still in life. Today there are still efforts being made and some have been successful such the racial boundaries Barack Obama has crossed despite being biracial and how many people are taking a stand. Racism today seems to affect mainly african-americans as some people are very prejudiced against them such as the Ku Klux Klan whose power may not be as strong as it once was still exists. The other ways that african-americans are affected are stereotypes. There countless even for other races for example me. I have mistaken to be Indian a lot of times and sometimes still am even though I am Bangladeshi. Some stereotypes for other races would be the Chinese and Japanese they are sometimes expected to be smart, have squinty eyes, and be a workaholic while they may be not. I know someone who is partly Japanese she does not seem to have squinty eyes nor is she a workaholic. Racism also comes to everyones' lives through the way we exposed to it. For example go to some place and then be shut out because of the color of your skin or be cast out because you're asian, african-american, or even middle eastern.

First, you have to know who is affected by racism. Racism affects everyone. Groups on facebook fight to stop racism by educating people. However, so long as racism exists, everyone is affected.

Now, how are they affected. Racism has made it hard for some people to get jobs, has resulted in segregation that exists to this day (East and West Dayton, Ohio for instance). Racism has resulted in death and unfair treatment.

First we need to define "racism." Let's suppose that it means denying people opportunities based on how they look and/or whence they came. As these are non-merit factors, racism means that the society that practices it isn't getting the best people to do its many functions, which means in turn that they are done worse than they might have been.
