Racism fundamentally undermines the principles of equality and justice. By denying individuals opportunities based on their race or ethnicity, it not only hampers personal growth but also stifles societal progress. Witnessing such injustice can evoke feelings of frustration and a desire for change. Recognizing and challenging racism is crucial for creating inclusive communities where everyone has an equal chance to succeed.
