Document Summary
One of the important consequences of prejudice is discriminatory behavior. In the context of the world, every race is a minority. Race is something created by people, not nature. Africville was a small town in halifax, nova scotia that was founded by free slaves in early. 1800s and in 1950s 1960s, halifax took the land from these people and refused to compensate them today, such blatant prejudice is a major embarrassment for halifax. Unfortunately though, we cannot conclude that racial prejudice is extinct. 7772 reported hate crimes motivated by race during 2006 in the u. s. and 762 in canada (about proportional when looked at the populations as a whole) Majority groups compare racial equality to the past and feel that there has been a lot of progress, the minority groups compare it to their ideal world and see less progress. The subtle influence of prejudice on discrimination is more widespread than previously though to be.
