PSA - Racism (Exercise 5)

Today we live in a society where racism is still common!

Even if it's still ignored, that doesn't take away the fact that it still remains. Around 7,700 hate crimes were reported, half of those were motivated by racial bias. Multiple studies show black drivers are as twice as likely to get pulled over and 4 times more likely to be arrested.
If this isn't racism, what is?
Racism isn't over, but we can make a difference to end it.
