Similarly, modern educational materials seem to make an effort to allow minorities to identify with the material presented, compared to earlier eras, when all major media figures and educational materials represented middle class white people almost exclusively (CPEC, 1997).
Conclusion:
Ultimately, I believe that passive racism is more detrimental to positive race relations in society as well as in my particular community. Overt racists are, in effect, likely to be "lost causes" in terms of their ability to change their attitudes. Their views are unapologetic and usually are a function of belief as opposed to experience.
Passive racism seems to be more a function of learned expectation or, in a sense, rebuttable presumption in the minds of those who are still capable of reevaluating their expectations depending on the circumstances. I would conclude that passive racism among minorities relates more to past experience and that passive racism in white people is more a function of residual remainders from learned stereotypes rather than personal experience.

Race and Revolution by Gary
In fact, the American Revolution may have served to assert the natural rights of some people, but those people were limited to a class of white males. It is important to keep in mind that one of the ideological underpinnings of the Revolution was a challenge to imperialist ideals, and race-based oppression and slavery had long been major parts of the imperial system. Despite that, it is unfair to characterize
