In our modern society, the term race is used as a social category. Differential treatment of people based on race is unacceptable, and all such treatment only helps to create more of a divide among races. In the article, analyzes that the use of race today can lead to prejudices among different races and differential treatment will only widen the gap of more future prejudices. If we treat one group differently because of their race and assume that for this race things should be easily handed over or hard fought we help to create prejudice and corrupt our society continuously. The researchers concluded that the media articulate and convey ideas, powerful images and stories and negative about the ethno-racial can have a significant influence on the collective belief of the American society.

The trouble with differential treatments of race is the potential for hate crimes. A hate crime defined as being, “Crime of aggravated assault, arson, burglary, criminal homicide, motor vehicle theft, robbery, sex offenses, and/or crime involving bodily injury in which the victim intentionally selected because of the victims' actual or perceived race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or disability.” I cannot imagine a case in which differential treatment of a race could be positive and not lead to bitterness and potential crimes against the races.
