A current event about racism would be how most people now think of Muslims as some one bad because they automatically think that since they are Muslim they must be terrorist. It is discrimination and racial profiling against them. Islamophobia is the term used for people that are prejudice and demonization of Muslims. In other words it is negative attitudes, violence and harassment of Muslims. Since the September 11 attacks Secretary-General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan, told the UN conference in 2004 "[W]hen the world is compelled to coin a new term to take account of increasingly widespread [|bigotry], that is a sad and troubling development. Such is the case with Islamophobia."

We can see here how racism is still in use no matter what has been done in order to get rid of it. Mark Twain uses a lot of racism in Huck Finn because it was being used a lot in those days.
