Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
I do not believe that racism is a threat to domestic security. I believe that racism is a natural response in communities with people from different backgrounds. I also believe that in an enlightened society, people should be educated to understand and respect the differences of people from different walks of life.
