Talking about Racism

Growing up in a small private school, I have basically been sheltered all my life.  So, I can honestly say that I have never really have witnessed or been apart of a profound confrontation about race.  Of course I know that these things happen in the world and I have heard and seen instances on the news, but I have never actually been apart of something.  Because racial confrontation is not something I see or hear every day, or for that fact really ever considering I go still go to a small private school with a white majority.  From only seeing my worlds perspective, one could look in and easily say that racism is not a problem.  After reading Watchel, I would have to agree.  Racism is not the issue, its indifference. 

I live in a world where it is unseen to make racist remarks or even consider to think of yourself as racially superior to another race, and the basically everyone I know can honestly say they have no problem with racial differences.  But this is not where the wrong doing is coming from in todays society.  As years go on our generations are becoming more and more excepting of other cultures, but that doesn't mean we are still not neglecting it.  We make no effort in caring if racism is going on, or what other cultures might be experiencing.  As long as we are morally correct and don't do anything bad we think we are fine.  The reason racism and racial divides still occur today is because this lack on interest.  We put no effort towards trying to put an end to it.
