racism in to kill a mocking bird
The most obvious form of discrimination in To Kill a Mockingbird is racism; however, there are other types of prejudice and discrimination that typify relationships among the novel’s characters. Scout, for example, is ridiculed in “To Kill a Mockingbird” because she is a tomboy. Boo Radley is ostracized despite the fact that hardly anyone knows him. Reverse racism is also present in the novel, as evidenced by the threats against Atticus Finch and his family as he defends Tom Robinson.In current day America we still see these injustice’s but at a lower cases. We sill see African American who have no evidence against them still get charged and prosecuted because they are black.

In our courts, when it’s a white man’s word against a black man’s word, the white always wins. They’re ugly, but these are the facts of life” (Lee 252). Aunt Alexandra’s excuse of not allowing Scout to play with Walter because she thinks he is trash proves how much segregation is going on already. The Finches and the Cunninghams are both white families, but Aunt Alexandra dislikes the Cunninghams because they are poor.We see this even in today as white people think that black people have no manners and teach there kids that they should not be near them because they want have a bad influence on there children.
In present time America when African American is arrested for crime he looked at harshly then a white man.For example if a black man and white man are accused of rap the black is prused harder than the white man just because he is black. Which makes the court corrupt and racist.Atticus even say this to is kid and says “There’s something in our
