Description
The issue: With the election of Barack Obama, many people thought that America’s ugly history of racism was a thing of the past. However, after highly publicized police shootings and other racially charged events, many are doubting this hopeful narrative. How we view race relations is often based on our own experiences and racial background. In fact, a recent survey (Links to an external site.) showed that “nonwhites tend to see racial discrimination a lot more than whites do.”
The prompt: In a complete essay, argue whether racism is a major problem in the United States today.
