While the world has moved on from racism the terrible thing still exist in our world. While we dont notice it's still persist still people are getting hurt verbally and mentally from racism just like this article from CNN shows. This quote shows how racism used to exist everywhere even in prison. In general coulered and indians recieved a slightly better diet than africans but it was not much of a distinction.
Racism remains "significant" problem in English football
September 19, 2012
Over the last year England's football authorities -- as well as England's
justice system -- have had to contend with racism cases involving Patrice Evra
of Manchester United and Liverpool's Luis Suarez as well as Chelsea's John Terry
and Anton Ferdinand of QPR.
In December, the English Football Association handed Suarez an eight-match
ban and a £40,000 fine after finding the Uruguayan guilty of racially abusing
Evra, while in July, ex-England captain John Terry was cleared of racially
abusing fellow footballer Anton Ferdinand at Westminster Magistrates' Court
"Much has been done to improve the atmosphere and behaviour at football
matches and it has become a much more family-friendly activity," said chair of
the Culture, Media and Sport (CMS) Committee John Whittingdale MP. "However,
recent incidents of racist abuse in highlighted the fact that there remain significant problems.
"It should be a priority for the FA to develop procedures for stewards to
follow and regular training opportunities to ensure that all relevant staff at
club grounds are capable of reacting swiftly and consistently to incidents of
abuse."
And the CMS committee called on the FA to do more in tackling all forms of
abuse in the game:
"While the general level of progress in combating racism and racist abuse in
the UK is positive and should be applauded, there is much more that can and must
be done, and we believe it is for the FA to take the lead and set the example
for everyone, from football authorities at all levels to the grassroots groups,
to follow."
The FA, the Premier League and the Football League issued a joint response to
the CMS report.
"We agree with the Committee that whilst substantial progress has been made
to promote equality and tackle discrimination in the game, challenges remain for
all of the football authorities," said their statement.
"We remain committed, along with all of our stakeholders, to promoting
equality and diversity within the game and to the eradication of all forms of
discrimination in football.
"We will continue to work across the entire breadth of the sport to deliver
our inclusion and anti-discrimination agenda. In doing so, we will consider in
detail how the Committee's recommendations can support and influence this
work.
Evidence given to the CMS suggested that homophobia might now be the biggest
problem football is facing.
"Recent research found that 25% of fans think that football is homophobic
while 10% think that football is racist," said the CMS, which wants the FA to
promote a campaign to "highlight the damaging effect of homophobic language and
behaviour in around football at every level."
As well as identifying homophobic abuse as well as "laddish" behaviour as
significant problems, the report demanded a more active response from the
authorities to racial abuse at grassroots level.
