Opinion on racism

In my opinion, there are enough measures done to combat racism. For exmaple, in Singapore, many citizens accept foreign people. In school, we learn and play with many people from different races. Many measures have been made to combat racism, this includes racial harmony day, the act of distributing the different races in a HDB flat acording to percentage of population, the national pledge, and many more. Although we still hear some racism sometimes, this is very little compared to many other countries, through living with people from different races, racism had becamo a very small problem in Singapore In my opinion, racism can be dealt with by the school for a child and by the strict law if he or she is an adult. If a person was racist to his classmate, other classmates would not join him as he was racist, and the teacher would definitely find out what has happened, from the behaviour, and the racist guy would by punished by demerit points, or at least get scolded. Also, their parents would be informed. If he was an adult, once he was caught promoting racism in the internet or making racist remarks in public, he might be jailed or fined. These measure would definitely scare most people and they would not dare to be rasist. for those who want to challenge the law, they would suffer from the punishment and definitely learn their lesson.
