Writing • Racial prejudice is still rooted in the world of today, and racial

discrimination remain quite widespread. In Europe, most of the Romany still live in poverty, who are often driven or hunted by force. In America, black students are banned from joining traditional all-white organizations. A recent report left us shocked that an Indian American girl, who had won the 2013 Miss America contest, was referred to as ‘Miss All-Qaida’ due to her Indian origin.Racial prejudice and discrimination runs contrary to the spirit of times of fairness and justice, and has a destructive impact on minority groups of different race, colour or religion. They are deprived(使丧失，剥夺 ) of basic human rights, and are subjected to physical and mental harm.
