My Opinion on Racial Category

Racism is not anything new. Racism has been continuously proceeding for years. Currently it is still going on, believe it or not. I truly believe every human being has the right to be entitled to their own opinions or beliefs. It shouldn’t matter about the color or race. Just because they may be more on the poor side doesn’t mean it’s right to exclude them out in anything.

Given the civic and sociological thinking at the turn of the century, it is not surprising that race definitions could include subgroups of immigrants who were in some way be different from the native-born majority. Racial categories could be said to have both good and bad outcomes. The reason why I say it can have both positive and negative outcome is because first, it helps the people in racial categories get resources. For example, there are scholarships for African American students, Latinos, Haitians and etc. In certain places they have a program for just for black women. The only requirements are that you are a black female. The negative is that it continues the stereotype of people. It also continues the racism and in the past this has led to segregation. 

To conclude, I believe that counting people in racial category both help and diminish for people who fall in this category. It has a little of both pros and cons. Therefore we cannot completely eliminate the categorizations process. We can just try to curve the thinking of those who have negative feelings towards certain races.
