In twenty-first century American society, the racial issues are minor, but include illegal Mexican immigration and President Obama being the first colored president. Illegal Mexican immigrants are not racially discriminated against on as large of a scale as Africans were in the Jim Crow South, but illegal immigration is an issue still present in our society. Some of the population is against President Obama's presidency because he is the first African-American president and there are leftover racial tensions from the time of segregation. This tension means that a Caucasian referring to Obama as a bad president can be labelled as racist. Since I am Caucasian, my personal experience with the controversy over his presidency is that I have to be careful about sharing my negative feelings about Obama. I can share my positive opinions and African-Americans can share their critiques with others without being racist, but because I am Caucasian and Obama is colored, I have to be careful about what I say. In addition to the controversy over Obama's presidency, the illegal Mexican immigrants in the United States face racial discrimination to a small extent. Even though these immigrants do not deserve a full set of Constitutional rights, there is some paranoia in Arizona about Latinos who seem suspicious. Because of recent laws, people can report any Latino to the police who they think is an illegal alien, even if the suspected person is entirely innocent. While there is no punishment for Latino United States citizen if they are reported, this action towards Latinos in my opinion a little racist. Since the one ethnic group is subject to such harassment, it poses racial issues in the Southwest regarding Mexicans. Due to the Arizona laws, Mexicans in the Southwest are to some extent not trusted, which is not a fair way to treat them since the treatment is based solely on their appearance. More over, there are racial tensions in the United States, and in addition to United States history, fear and distrust associated with certain ethnic groups has led to a minor degree of racism.
