Race and Your Community
From community to community there are different types of racial issues. In my town of Whiteland, in Indiana we have very few racial issues, because of very view minorities that live in Whiteland.

In this town we consist nearly of almost one race, our town has more whites than any other race. Most of the people I know in my town are not prejudice, or commit prejudice acts to my knowledge. This community does...
