How do people define racism? Racism is everywhere. Racism is when a person or a group of people makes comments about another person or group's race and cultural background. Don't you just hate when people make fun of others because of what their race is. How would you feel if you were mocked or joked about your race? How would you feel then? People who are racist to others are wrong people. A lot of people died for us because they stood up against racism, prejudice, sexism, and discrimination and there are still people who feel this way.
