Racism’s never-ending cycle

Minorities to this day are being treated unfairly simply because of whom they are or who they associate with. There is still unequal justice in the United States of America, a country where there should be “equal justice” for everyone.

Muslim-Americans are being racially identified as “terrorists” or “threats,” Mexican-Americans as “wetbacks” or “job stealers,” African-Americans as “criminals” or “gang members.” It is as if this country will never end its racial problems.

How can we as a country be promoting equal justice for all, when racial bias is considered to be OK by many? It appears racism will be a never-ending cycle. How can we as a diverse nation help end it?
