True Colors

The film "True Colors" exemplified how common racism is still today. Theres not much to dispute about racism still existing today after watching how a black man and a white man can be treated so differently in the same situation. It made it pretty clear how common it still is! Often you hear our read accounts of minorities being treated differently from white people, but it is easy to suspect that situations are being created out of nothing or are exaggerated. This investigation shows that racism is still pervasive.

Unfortunately, the racism observed in the film is stubborn and more difficult to stamp out. Even though there are laws against discriminating between renters because of race, it clearly does not stop property managers from preventing African Americans from even applying for an apartment. These situations can easily go unnoticed because there are not usually undercover cameras recording the way that different people treat different races. I wonder if the car salesman even thought about the way he was discriminating against the black man. I was surprised at how even race makes it difficult to spend one's own money
