Whites swim in racial preference
Racial preference and the racism has been widely practiced for time immemorial. People categorize each other based on their appearance, which is primarily the racial stratification. Most whites are practically against the notion of racial preference. However, in the real sense, this vice is deeply rooted in our modern societies. The whites are only against the idea of the many social, political and economic functions. Deep inside their minds and their common practice, racial preference is a common phenomenon (Wise, 20).
History has prejudiced the whites as the primary source of racial preference. It is for this factor that led to the massive slave trade in Africa. The white race viewed themselves as supreme, and hence they outsourced for the services of blacks. The black race was viewed as an outcast, and the only place that they thought was best for them was to be subjected to forced labor. Many Africans were shipped to Europe to work in plantations, mining fields, and other household chores. They were preferred by the whites because of their appearance, color and culture that was termed as backward and retrogressive (Wise,25).
Additionally, the whites made laws that primarily suited them and favored them under any circumstance. In this way, laws were enacted to favor the whites while on the other hand it
lowered dignity and went against the rights of the black race. For instance, the affirmative action that resulted in the enactment of the Naturalization Act in the United States in 1790 was very unfair to the black people.

The act allowed the whites and other European migrants to become full citizens whereas the blacks were denied this basic right. Racial profiling was the basis of this retrogressive law (Wise 12).
Moreover, the laws that were put in place then only favored people according to their racial units. Most laws enacted enforced the idea of white supremacy. It put in the idea that the white race was superior to other races(Kivel, 10). A clear example is the affirmative action of the 1930s and 1940s. The affirmative action was racially motivated and provides restrictive housing policy that was largely based on racial profiling of different races. White privilege was the key as most whites became the beneficiaries of the same leaving other races in deplorable conditions (Wise, 15).
It is also sad to note that racial preference is still widely practiced in the modern society. Several cases of unfairness have been reported in most parts of the United States, which mostly favor the white race. Most blacks in the modern society are still poor despite the equality memes (Kivel,13). According to a recent research white families have a larger net worth than their black counterparts. In fact, the range is 11 times more. Another clear example of white preference is in the workplace. In 2003, a black male worker working under same conditions with the whites was lowly paid as compared to their fellow whites in the work environment (Wise,5).
In conclusion, the acts and practices of racial preference are still commonly practiced in the 21st Century. Many blacks are silently suffering and have become victims of racial prejudice,
preference, and segregation for many years. Many injustices have been committed by the whites. Action should be taken to end this and culprits should be brought to book.
