		<description>Racism still exists because you can&#039;t force completely different cultures to integrate and just &quot;get along&quot;. That&#039;s why you see neighborhoods still consist of mainly one race only. You have the black side of town, the white side of town, the latino side of town, and so on. It&#039;s not because those people are racist, it&#039;s called similar interests and similar cultures.

Why can&#039;t you and other people accept the fact that people are going to congregate and associate with other groups that have similar interests. As a conservative, you won&#039;t often see me at Democratic rallies or associating myself with other liberal minded people. I choose to associate most of the time with like minded people. Does this mean I live in a bubble and ONLY associate with people just like me? No.

Speaking of stereotypes, when does a stereotype become mostly true? For example, there are certain stereotypes about white people. A lot of those are true. For a list of some, check out &lt;a href=&quot;http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/full-list-of-stuff-white-people-like/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Stuff White People Like&lt;/a&gt;. Notice how you don&#039;t see any white people calling the ACLU saying they&#039;re being discriminated against. There are no press conferences called. Sometimes, the stereotypes are actually true. Something to think about.</description>

		<description>You&#039;re entirely right.

In order to prevent racism, we must be as racist as possible.

Otherwise we might let up on the Arabs.



By the way, the guy in the story is about as smart as shit. It&#039;s just that your point is too. Racism is still produced because Whites and Blacks (more whites really) choose to separate themselves due to stereotypes passed down from the pre-antebellum period and even the first years of European contact with Africans, making other races literally the &quot;other&quot;, a foreign, strange person who we don&#039;t know how to deal with. The way the other can be pictured can only be as  extremes i.e. Uncle Tom or The Black Menace, or, on the other side, The Slave Driver or the Heroic Embodiments of the Ideals of the outdated theory of White Man&#039;s Burden. Integration has never been instituted in truth. Many Communities are still overwhelmingly white or black, and although that trend is changing, The amount of Clique that is introduced into schools or social situations may make any sort of reconciliation impossible. So, to recap, Racism is caused by separation and caricturization of the other, not by a few remarks from an idiot or two.</description>
