Race..By+Michelle+J.

// I think racism still is a problem in the United States, I think racism will always be a problem, because people don’t want to a meant it. People want to hide racism; they are keeping people unaware of the truth. // // Segregated proms in Georgia are an example of racism. The Montgomery County High School had two different proms, a black prom and a white prom. The students have class together but do not have proms together. According to the article Kera Nobles, a senior at Montgomery County High School, was very upset because she had been planning to go to the prom with her white and black friends. Also two white sisters that attended the school were upset because they could not go to prom with their black boyfriends. They tried to have one prom but could not agree on the music the DJ and the theme. It’s sad to me because it’s not fair. The white prom probably has nicer things. If it was me I would not even want to go tp prom because i bet the white kids prom was better than mines. "It's been over 100 years sinces slavery and thing have not changed" said a parent. The two white sister mother said "i happy the cannt go to prom with there black boyfriends".//

//My next example is Avatar the movie is only hiring white heroes and Asian villains. The cartoon has Asian heroes and villains but they changing it all around. Dev Pate the only dark skinned character was casted as a villain. The only let whites casted as heroes. Fans of the show was upset because they did not see it fair to have whites as heroes. Many of the fans plan to protest when the movie is released next year. " We hope that other studois eill notice that discriminating against actors of color by 'whitewashing' is not worth the public outcry," Lee said.

People may say racism is not a problem but I think it is. I heard time and time again people say “we have come a long way”, we have come far but not far enough//. //" Appropriating elements of Asian culture to make a fantasy setting, yet locking out ethically asian actors to play the heroes, perpetuates the orintalism that the animated series so artfully avoided in thefirat place, " said Marissa Lee, a 2008 UCLA graduate and public relations coordinator. The qoute shows peoples out-looks on the problem at hand. People are surprised that the movie companies are doing nothing about this.//
