Although Harper Lees to Kill a Mockingbird is a work of fiction a lot of what she wrote was based on real events. As in the book, there was segregation thought out the south in the 1930s. Even though the government made laws to make everything for whites and blacks separate but equal, the things blacks had were terrible compared to what whites had. For example a white restaurant may be nice and clean but a black one may have rats and bugs all over. Today, there is still racism although it is not as bad as it was during the book it is still bad. Many people are made fun of today because of the color of their skin or because of what a person with their skin color did. In the past, anyone who was not white was segregated. Ever since September 11, 2001 there is racial profiling. Anyone who looks like they are from the Middle East is considered a threat, simply because they might be Muslim. Some people even go as far to say all Muslims are terrorists. I believe that in the future that if an event like September 11, 2001 ever happens again, the race or religion that is involved, will be profiled against or even segregated. It’s hard to predict the future, but maybe as people become more educated and start trying to understand why people do what they do segregation, racism, and racial profiling will cease to exist.
