Discussion on Racism

The talk was different form any that I've had in college so far.  It was slightly uncomfortable because we don't have to deal with race issues everyday.  Most of us have a white majority around us in our daily lives so we never notice anything that is related to race.  I think that because most of us are so sheltered, we are ignorant of any racial things that we might say or do.  I openly admit that I laugh at racist jokes of all kinds and I used to really follow stereotypes.  I've made an effort to not believe in stereotypes anymore.  Since I have never gone through any sort of struggle because of my race, I tend to not have an opinion on racial issues and I just stay quiet.
