In my local community, there is the issue of racism and racial bias, especially in case of treating the African-American individuals equally in comparison with the treatment provided to the white Americans. The unfair treatment is not only for the African-Americans who are not handicapped but also for the handicapped African-American individuals living in my community. Though the local Church in my community tries to assist the African-American individuals in my community, most of the white American volunteers show despise and hatred towards the African-American individuals because they are identified as blacks.
