Book excerpt: The United States prides itself on being a country with people from all different walks of life. However, the acceptance some take for granted isn't always there for people of color. In recent years, awareness of and anger about racial profiling and discrimination have reached their highest levels in decades. Racial profiling and discrimination often happen in ways many people don't realize, hurting their victims and leading to further divisions. This book clearly explains the difference between racial profiling and discrimination, provides easily understandable examples of each, and gives suggestions for how teens can combat these unfair practices.
