Answer 9

I guess racism could be described as treating someone differently (badly) because he/she may be of another race. While I've not had much experience with racism, as I'm from and living in the Caribbean, there have been times when I've experienced rather cool gestures from people who have come here from other places. It doesn't feel good, but I've learned to live with it.
