English correction

Foreigners or people with another skin-color live in nearly every country. I think prejudice and discrimination cause problems in society and also for the individuals. Policy is powerful enough to set different measures against prejudice and discrimination.
I want to prove this by looking at the dangers and disadvantages for society. The greatest problems occur in the cities, where many people live close together. Often there are slums in which only minorities or foreigners live. You can see it in America, where gang wars determine daily life of those people who live in ghettos. Another point is the two class society in which only the superior class has important rights. For example in the USA in the 1950’s to 1960’s only the white people were allowed to vote. But Martin Luther King and Malcom X, who enforced their rights against racism in different ways, caused a change in the society. Now the people in USA, regardless of which skin color, have the same rights.
I adduce evidence that the dangers and disadvantages for the individual are particular seriously. Every person should have the right to go out whenever or wherever he/she wants to, but in some areas you can’t go as a white person because only criminal blacks are there and control the area. But that’s a vicious circle, because blacks have no chance to rise in the white-people society and remain in their “ghettos”. The black people also have other massive problems in the daily life. For example in a coffee shop it’s not certain that you are served as a black man/woman. When an Afro American becomes a lawyer he is not automatically respected by others. Occasionally they have problems to find work particularly in “white areas”.
It will need a couple of years to solve this problem. So I list some possible measures against prejudice and discrimination. Only the state has enough power to help the people for a peaceful life without racism. So it’s useful to have black senators or even a black president. The best example is the USA, where the elected president Barack Obama is the first black man in this post. He can change the situation in consideration of racism in the USA. Although he has other problems to solve he should help the people who suffer from discrimination with the aid of political rehabilitation.
To conclude I think we should set goals against this problem in Austria as well, because racism is not only a result of different skin colors, but rather religious reasons. For a peaceful interaction between people it’s very important to respect the people how they are and judge only the character and not the appearance.
