Racism is wrong on so many levels. Someone does and others mimic. So, if you have some douche assaulting and or killing others becuase of their race, then you have a very big issue on your hands. One thing leads to another and then you have racial cleansing/holocosts on your hands.

So what I'm saying here is racism is something that needs to be removed. Making harsher penalties for it can act as a deterent, which can hopefully lead to removal.
