3-1 Why people don't share their beliefs and feeling about race and ethnicity
In most of the occasions, people think that this is social danger thus it should not be embraced by the society. It seems to offend those who are facing racism and ethnicity allegations. Racism and ethnicity within the society are considered to be a very sensitive aspect thus they should never be handled plainly as it is believed to cause society disintegration (Ojalvo, 2010). Moreover, one's stand can influence his or her friends concerning their approach to the issue. It will be an act of guilt if one tend to deviate from what the majority think of racism and ethnicity. Therefore, individuals decide to stay silent concerning the matter. Additionally, people have a stereotype about each race and ethnic group, therefore, their perceptions differ, and they are fearful of disclosing what they think of a certain community (Ahmed, Wilson, Henriksen, & Jones, 2013).
3-2 Why racism is resistant to change
From the ancient time racism has been a disaster in many of the communities. There are various reasons which are tied to the racism being resistance to change. One of the factors is that it is never addressed publicly thus one's approach to racism can't be identified. Therefore, is exists in a person, but its direction either positive or negative cannot be established (Whitehead, 2011). If people could share their views then, a general ground can be made leading to efficiency in the elimination of racism in the society. Another reason for racism being resistant is that most of the minority groups never standoff and address the issues affecting them thus they keep it for themselves. Therefore, those who practice it will never know that they have been doing the acts, thus, it won't stop (Schaub, 2012). Moreover, young generations are grown up with the mentality that racism is there making it difficult to eradicate it. Additionally, it is a nature of human to feel superior to the other. Through this feeling racism exist to be dominant within the society.
