Survivors: We Shall All Be Free - Survivors of Racism

What is racism? How does it feel to have people make assumptions or judgments about you because of your race? Most of you have probably experienced racism to some extent. Even when the assumption is about something positive - black people are all great singers, Asians are really smart - it doesn't feel good to be judged by what you are rather than by who you are. Often, people have to deal with prejudices that are far more negative than these. Sometimes these racial ideas are spoken outright, and sometimes they are much more subtle. Many people have racial prejudices they do not even realize they have, but the attitudes still come out when they deal with people of different races.
