Race/Gender/Sexual Orientation

       I think the government does too little to reduce the instances of racial discrimination at some points in time. Those being handled poorly on television need to be taken care of in a formal fashion. I believe in America we should all be equal, no matter what. There are so many ways people discriminate, but race, gender, and sexual orientations are pretty big deals. I understand discrimination does happen, and not ever incident can be stopped. Although, we do not see many incidents happening on television, but when they do happen I believe it should not be taken so lightly. Not just with race, but also gender and sexual orientation.
This issue of gender, I feel, was a major problem many years ago, but has since loosened up. I know there are still cases where gender discrimination does still occur, but to me at least, it is just not something you hear very often. Many laws have been passed for women to have the equal rights as men. So, I feel the government does a perfect amount to reduce the instances of gender discrimination. Unless, I am just out of the loop with this topic recently. We see today many high power women, especially running for president.
The issue of sexual orientation is such a major controversy in our time right now, that I am a little afraid to blog about this topic. I believe the government does too little to reduce the instances of sexual orientation discrimination, and too much of inhabiting them. I think it is pretty sad that we actually have to pass a law in each state to legalize gay marriage. I know some people are just completely against, I have just never been able to wrap it around my mind why. I think the government needs to focus more on reducing the instances of sexual orientation discrimination, and less time causing them.
