Subcultures are judged by what they look like, what they wear, where they live, their ethnic background and religion. Subcultures have distinctive styles of dress, activity and music. They form when the main stream culture fails to meet the needs of a particular group of people.Let's take a look at a known subculture. A perfect example is the punk subculture.

Racism is a developed set of attitudes that include antagonism based on the supposed superiority of one group or on the supposed inferiority of another group, premised solely on skin colour or race. Some authors suggest that racism and White racism may be synonymous. Defining bigotry as a primarily White problem does disservice in two ways. It ignores the fact that racist attitudes can breed in any ethnic group and it undermines the expressed goals of this decade's most promising solution - multicultural education.Australia has much to contribute to this process. Today we still have enormous problems of racial discrimination in our society, none greater than the ongoing treatment of

Furthermore, blacks had a big part on enslaving too.African Americans should not be paid for slavery of their ancestors. Americans both black and white should reject the notion of reparations for slavery. African Americans have already been paid, it will turn them into victims, this is a multi-ethnic nation, and no group is fully responsible.
