When you think of racism, do you think of the past or present? Most people would say that there is no more racism and that it is a thing in the past, but now I am starting to question if it is really gone. Right now in the Dominican Republic people are being deported to Haiti just based on appearance. People with dark skin are automatically accused of being a Haitian, and are seen as inferior, and are being taken from the streets and deported to Haiti. Even the Dominicans, that are dark skinned, are being taken from their homes and are focused to get on a bus to Haiti. The most injustice part is that the soldiers are treating these people like animals. They are picked up and shoved on a bus where they are unable to even pick up their belongings.
