In society today many believe that racism is not around much anymore or not around at all. However, the hard truth is that it still exist everywhere. The amount of racism has lowered throughout history though it still lives and will not die. It has entered many places even in our media and cartoons that our children cherish and are entertained by. Its true, racism still exists and it is being shown in the very cartoons children adore. They may not realize it or not even anyone may realize it at first because they are too busy being entertained from the humor it brings, but once they begin to notice what the humor was all about then it hits them. Many do not notice, especially small children who are the main audiences of cartoons and that is something dreadful because if he sees Bugs Bunny mocking a black or Chinese person then that will most likely enforce negative stereotypes in the youngster. This racism comes from many cartoons that we all adore, from Warner Bros. Bugs Bunny, to Disney films.
