Even if after the initial judgment takes place and their base opinion is changed, because this person is ‘different from the norm’ the initial judgment did occur, and that person did assume personality qualities to that person for know reason other than race, and personal beliefs that people have about that specific ‘kind of person.’ I have met people of all different races who judge others by their skin color or by their culture unintentionally. Racism is everywhere and it is a hidden evil that people choose to ignore for the time being. Most people in today’s society are at least slightly racist, probably on accident. Which is awful, because the concept of race is something that the human mind created, and not something that has any truth to it, because there is only one race, the human

So many people overlook this community whenever they are asked to think about such crimes that are usually committed, in example, the ones dealing and focusing on prejudice towards religion and race. However, hate crimes committed against gays are rapidly rising and most definitely something needs to be done regarding these heinous crimes towards the gays in our community. Recent surveys on hate crimes and harassment directed at homosexuals only prove the increase in numbers.
