I still believe that there are many people that still have prejudices against people of different races. I think now it is not as accepted in society so people who are prejudice are more private about it or they just try and hide it more. Because the majority of people would not accept someone who was outright racist in public. Now I think prejudice and racism are things people bottle up inside and only act them out when they know no one will know about it. I have seen examples of this in my life. Not over spring break but many times when I'm with my father who is Native American and has his hair grown out long I see people look at him. When we are at a store they look at him. They don't look at him like they look at everyone else. You know the way that you look at people in a big crowd how you just glance over everyone not really settling your eyes on a specific person. They focus and stare at him, looking at him like he is going to do something that just because he looks different he is going to act out. This is why I think racism is still around. People still look at my father different and they treat him differently from everyoone else.
