Make racist acts punishable by prison sentences.
I wish for both the government and parliament to be made aware of the racism in this country. The government and parliament should create legal actions that can be taken against those who are racist.
Racism is increasing massively and this is unacceptable. People need to realise that it is unacceptable to discriminate someone by their race.
