While recognized as wrong, racism is prevalent among all communities in America. There are racist white people, there are racist black people, there are racist Asian people, and there are racist Hispanic people. To start with, this shows that people are racist in general. Now, racism is not about race; it is about prejudice. Everybody faces similar problems today. Many have bought large cars and still owe payments on these vehicles while the cost to fill them up with gasoline makes them worthless. Many have either taken equity out of their homes or bought a home and owe money on it while the value has halved from the initial and today's increasing costs on society keep making it harder and harder to keep up the payments. Because of increasing gasoline prices, the price of everyday products has gone up, further strangling our society. This is not a problem black people face; this is not a problem white people face: this is a problem everybody faces. People are not born with racism because when they are 2 years old, they do not care what color their skin is. It is an issue that surfaces later on because people say it is an issue. Racism is caused by the differences all individuals have and many hear things that categorize people.
