Race is defined so simply as the grouping of individuals based on their physical traits. However, when most people think of the word \u201crace\u201d they think of racial oppression in society. I definitely agree with the statement that racism is taught. Whether one is aware of it or not, everyone has an implicit bias. Institutions surround and control us, and many big American institutions were initially formed with racist ideals. I have noticed that kids tend to have the same ideals as their parents, especially when they are not knowledgeable about a certain topic. Unlike the nonexistent representation of colored people in American media that was present decades ago, today, the media not only shows positive representations of minorities, but also exposes the struggles that minorities face through films, shows, news, books, etc. My favorite movie of all time, \u201cGet Out\u201d, touches on this subject in a very interesting way. This thriller movie portrays a young man who is visiting his white girlfriend\u2019s family. When he arrives he immediately feels out of place, considering he is a black man in a majority white southern neighborhood. The movie shows how racial issues are still present today and brings up the topics of police brutality, racial norms, interracial relationships, and many more important themes. Although, I would hope, most southern families do not perform such acts on black individuals, I think this movie is a great depiction of racism due to the effect of historical norms. Focusing around one particular wealthy white family, people can see how inhumane traditions were passed down through their family tree, proving how racism is most definitely taught.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n
