Racism in South Africa

Racism is is alive everywhere! Racism comes all around but more times or not people show racism toward themselves. Or is it just a case that people are so use to racism that they don't know how to turn it off. Just because your black doesnt mean you have to live in the black area.we have to learn as a whole to look beyond this.
