“The piano keys are black and white but they sound like a million colors in your mind.” In one phrase, the writer,
Maria Cristina expressed the truth about the world. Racism happens when people feel that it is ok to treat others in
a different way because of their skin color or culture or religion or even nationality. Also, It has affected millions of
people worldwide, and it is one of the deepest social problem in history. However, there are still numerous people
that do not know what causes racism .Therefore, we need to know what causes racism in order to reduce its
effects. In this essay, we will be focusing on two causes of racism. Surrounding And social media are two
essential causes of racism .Second, Social media is a prevalent cause of racism. First ,It is expressed through
television, radio, internet, music and even books. To demonstrate, media contributes in the growing of racism and
crateing theories that are not fair. According to Mary beth, “media play an important role in attracting researchers
attention and viewer’s thinking and responding to disparate racials”. The other problem is that social media
promotes racism especially through stereotyping. To illustrate, the media uses stereotypes as a shorthand
method of defining characters in ways that are easy for people to identify.According to Debate “
Stereotypes are basically the "most polite" way of racism which is wrong!.
First, friend and family can have a significant impact on
racism.To illustrate,Every time the family and friends
say or react harshly towards someone of a different
race,they are giving them a message that racism is the
norm. Bebe Moor said that , “African americans know
about racism,I decided it is first of all a family and
friends problem.”Another surrounding problem is the
experience that they give you.To explain, It is the same
as when a colleague or friend or family member betrays
you are likely to have an opinion on that person’s race.
According to Talynn Kel,“I share my experiences that
my white racist husband gave me and amplify the
narratives of others without shame”

Racism has occurred for centuries, but there is still a
chance to end it. I believe racism should end because
if it continues, it can split the unity of races. It may also
lead to more violence within the countries. All races
have equal opportunities as other races. “No one is
born hating another person because of the color of his
skin,or his region ,or his religion.“ (Nelson Mandela)
