    My first link is again from SIRS.com. SIRS talks about the history of racism and how it all started in the past. I think that's kind of important to know because you can connect to what causes people to make racial remarks now and what caused people back then to make racial remarks.
    My second link is from answerbag.com. On answerbag, I asked, "Why are people racist?". I read the answers and I learned quite a lot from them. One person thought that being prejudiced was like a phobia. Something that is developed when you are still very young. You may hear it from your parents or grandparents. And when you hear your parents say things like that, you may begin to believe some things. Another person thought that people make racist remarks because they feel like they're in charge. They feel like they have power. When they ever feel threatened or scared of someone, they can make a racist remark and have the person they said it to feel upset, ashamed or bad about themselves. Which makes the person who made the remark feel powerful and strong.
    My third source is...ME. I wrote myself as a source because I have had people say racist things to me. Turns out that many people have a lot to say about Asians. The way we look, the way we talk, just about anything.
