Racism today doesn’t particularly pertain to African Americans, but other races too. That is one way I am reminded form this

number one position if I were to make a list of the television programs I watch the most. The sport definitely shows the diverse race and ethnicity that is representative of the United States today. This diversity in baseball didn’t begin until Jackie Robinson became the first black player in the major leagues in 1947. Now Major League Baseball has players that represent many different ethnic and racial groups. The show Law and Order has a lot of viewers. I feel this is true because of what the show…
